Single malts

[Groucho]

Anyone ever had a whisky called Paddy's? It's a triple distilled Irish whisky, bought it for my dad but he prefers single malts so not sure.

Can't say I have, tbh

Paddy?

Better than Jamo IMO, which I get on OK with. Seems to be popular over there.

Drinking hot toddies made with Paddy got me through a very messy weekend on the lash over there a couple of years ago when I was ill as [Poor language removed].

Bushmills for me though generally, if I'm drinking Irish whiskey.

There's probably better to be found, I like the sound of that Connemara, they do one peated to 50ppm, which is peatier than Lagavulin. I don't know Irish Whiskey that well though tbh.

I used to like a Paddy. Not had it in yonks.

Got a Talisker from Morrisons in Wood Green today for £25. Good value, I say!

I think my mum had a bottle of that Connemara a couple of years ago. Not keen on the Irish stuff, Scotch for me really but if you want a good Irish one, there's one called Redbreast which is decent.

That's a good price for Talisker. As I said earlier, I got a Highland Park and an Old Pulteney today for £20 each.

Malts I've had today-

1/ Highland Park 12yo - good all rounder with quality flavours

2/ Old Pultney - an excellent, brilliant whiskey

3/ Bowmore Mariner - peat hints, but almost a nice inbetween peaty and non-peaty

4/ not a malt, but Naked Grouse. Didn't like it tbh

One of my favourites. Have got three different expressions on the shelf at the moment.

As I said to Blue 1 above mate, have you had the quarter cask?

Have you had the quarter cask?

Yes, that's one of them. Better than the standard 10 but not the cask strength 10, which is my favourite of the three and possibly my favourite malt I've tried.

Yes, I thought the same of the quarter cask.

Have you tried the cask strength Lagavulin?

 

[Blue 1]

Yes, I thought the same of the quarter cask.

Have you tried the cask strength Lagavulin?

No, is that the one that's bottled at cask strength but younger than the usual 16. It's a 12 year old or something IIRC?

Not heard much good about it.

I really like the 16 yo, but I think it's overpriced.
