the best trick I know to keep open wine from going off is to make sure you finish it!!

Also had Moose Drool in Montana. Not bad.

Drink what you like, leave the rest for somebody else. [:D]

First post, and the avatar name does not resemble the actual name in the member info. This one will have to earn his/her credence.

Were Scotch Whiskey and Scotch Tape invented by the same man?

No.

Whisky in Scotland
Whiskey in Ireland (not as good as Scotland's[;)])

In bourbon , anything Weller (Weller 12 being my favorite). In Scotch , Anything in the Highland Park Valkyrie line, or Lafroig . In Irish , probably Middleton , Japanese Hibuki, and Canadian....well it doesn't matter. That's pretty much "making love in a canoe" whisky. [:D]

Many very good Scotch whiskeys, but they are expensive over hear. Currently sipping Oban on occasion but at $100 + a bottle it is used only when I really need it!

My English uncle who was married to my Irish aunt recommended Black Bush as the go-to Irish whiskey but I never got to the distillery on my whirlwind tour of Northern Ireland. Any opinion on that, ian77? BTW, I don't think Black Bush was intended as any sort reference beyond shrubbery.

I can speak to the wonderful properties of Black Bush (the whiskey, dude, the whiskey). Very nice. My favorite in the Bushmills line. Jameson's 1780 used to be widely available, and excellent, but I haven't seen it in a while. My wife bought me a $125 bottle of Middleton back in the day for my birthday. Best I ever had. The whiskey, dude, the whiskey (not my birthday).

Odd - I thought the "Best I ever had" referred to your wife .... don't tell her any different!

I like Buffalo Trace Bourbon for regular sipping whiskey with friends and family. I save the better stuff for myself [;)]....GP

Did a great trip and tour of Craigallechie and the surrounding Speyside distilleries (Glenlivet, Glenfiddich, Balvenie, Glen Grant, Mortlach and a host of others) three years ago. Apparently the name Monkey Shoulder comes from the look of the guys who used to stir the hops on the malting floors with large rakes. Got a bit overgrown in the shoulders and hunched over. [;)]

I didn't appreciate blends before this trip, but Monkey Shoulder and a few others got my interest piqued. Since then found a number of good ones. Mitchell's is one of the best I've had.

I thought you couldn't do better than Jim Beam or Jack Daniels. [&:]

In all honesty, I did a bourbon tour in Kentucky once. Was fun: great place, beautiful, cheap food. Also went to the horse tracks. As for whiskey itself I don't think I'll ever like it enough to have preferences for certain labels.
