I go for the ice cube option, because I usually clumsily put in more water than I want when I pour.

We've been through that before and I will say it again, that's only a reason to balance it again with more whisky.

I've got this little baby lying around. Had a glass yesterday, and it was amazing

does red label qualify here?

Nope. Read the thread title, this thread is for single malt. Red label is a blend.

oky...drink carefully

Clynelish is excellent.

Jack or anyone else, I've never tried a single malt whisky before. What do you think I should start with to get an idea of how it is?

Glenfiddich 12

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I'm guessing they don't come in any variants? Like different flavour and such? The only difference being the age?

I'd go for a 10 year old Macallan.

The type of cask they have been distilled in is the main difference other than age when it comes to flavour.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Is a particular cask better? Is it is just personal preference?

 

[Red]

Personal preference.

It's all down to taste.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Thought so. Thanks guys.

I think the Glenfiddich is easier for a starter than a Macallan.

 

[Red]

Maybe. I haven't had a Glenfiddich for a while, so I cannae mind.

I would definitely go for a Speyside malt to start with, though.


I'm meant to be heading deep into whisky country on Sunday when I go to Granton-on-Spey.

More distilleries than you can shake a stick at out that way.

Because that's a single malt thread, Chivas is a blend.

I don't really know the difference between both.

 

[Fred]

A single malt is made entirely by distillations from a single producer, a blend is made by mixing distillations from multiple producers.

Chivas for example is a blend of several differently aged distillations.

Cylnelish is a single malt.
