The Scotch can fuck off.
Fair point. I just wanted to try Jameson 18yo, since I am certainly not going to punt €225 on a bottle for the privilege, and would have paid €20-ish for a shot. But so it went.
Love to know what the difference is between #17 “Scotch Whisky” and #26 “Whisky” is? Both have Scottish flags beside them
Caveat emptor inverted…
The bar in question, while pleasant in ways, seems to specialize to a bizarre extent in locating abysmal barmen. Was only in it last Thursday because same spot was convenient for a friend who was in town for a bit of carousing and Cheltenham watching. Could not get out myself until mid evening because I had some work to file. But we had a nice few drinks and he got a bus down to Waterford before midnight. Have no interest in horse racing but the Cheltenham vibe is always good.
Judging by the top 8 the Judging was carried out at a Wetherspoons in Derby.
Tipperary Distillery - anyone know who is behind it or what the back story is?
South Tipperary tillage farmer married the daughter of a former master distiller at some Scotch distillery who is also involved. Have never tried any of their stuff so can’t say what it is like.
Utterly Shit only for giving as gift to Japanese businessmen.
After s feed of green spot in the neighbours last night. It was lovely.
I have had a glass of Chivas Regal several times over the years. Bland. Nothing to seek out, in my view.
Of whiskies in that type of category, I find Johnnie Walker Black the most enjoyable. Bailie Nicol Jarvie, before it was taken off the market, was a nice blend.
Monkey Shoulder is a pleasant vatted malt, I think.
Is that a pub? Or a personal collection?
It’s what @Mac refers to as the cabinet in waiting.
No room in the house, he keeps these odds and ends in the shed.

Thanks. Idle curiosity…
I think her name is Jennifer Nickerson - and as someone rightly pointed out she’s of Scottish descent and her father was a master distiller somewhere. She married a local farmers son. I haven’t tasted any of their stuff though and nor do I intend to, owing to the “Tipperary” on the bottle.
