It’s a Celtic Tiger Part Two thing.
What’s up next I wonder.
Glorified paint stripper
I wouldn’t allow it on that worktop
Back to Paddy and Powers.
That’s the “new” name for Jameson Crested Ten isn’t it? Crested Ten was a very nice whiskey for not a lot of money. Does anybody know if Crested is the same stuff? I’m not convinced that it is.
I doubt it mate, both are vile, paddy in particular, I’d rather drink turpentine
I’d like to like whiskey. Never developed a taste for it.
Drank a bit of it once as a young lad over a few day session and for various reasons had to hold in a shite most of next day, eventually went to a takeaway and asked to use the toilet, went in and no toilet paper, back out to ask for it and back i where I did a shite that came out white like dog shits used to be. Must have been the Rennie I was swallowing to deal with the heartburn the whiskey gave me.

I think you can either be a whiskey drinker or not a whiskey drinker, it’s tricky to do it in between. If you are not used to it, anymore than the one can fuck you up, fuck you up good and proper.
It’s an option as you get older and can’t cope with volume any more

A depreciation timebomb, as mentioned.
Bingo. Works for me
Cheers.
Just stuff I picked up along the way. For anyone interested in whisky, the best in depth book — as remains generally agreed — is Phillip Hills’ Appreciating Whisky (2000). PH set up the Scotch Malt Whisky Society in the early 1980s, an initiative that came to have immense influence on the wider industry.
Yes. You can certainly taste a difference. Often, you can taste many differences. Every Glenugie I have drank — four, I think — has a definite ‘grapefruit juice’ note to it. Glenugie is a rare single malt from a long closed distillery. Really worth trying if you run across it. Beautiful stuff.
