Yup, Whisky is nice!

Do you like Whisky?

PS: I'm drunk!

I used to love whisk(e)ys of all sorts, but I don't drink alcoholic beverages anymore. Screws with your metabolism too much.

Got a full one in the cabinet. Just trying to see if there is a cheaper alternative out there.

Had some Glenfiddich or Glenmorangie at my Grandads funeral, to toast him with, he did like a wee dram from time to time, and I have knocked back about two thirds of a bottle of year old Famous Grouse once. I wouldn't mind trying a Laphroaig sometimes, got a very distinctive smell to it, had a conversation with a gent about it once and he said it was to do with the peat-fires that they use to dry the barley.

Here's what we have behind the bar where I work:


From left to right, top to bottom you'vce got Bell's, Grouse, Canadian Club, Jack Daniels (had that too a couple of times, not that keen on it), Jim Beam, Glenkinchie, Talisker, Glenmorangie, Oban, Glenfiddich, Laphroaig, Dalwhinnie and Jameson.

I don't do much drinking any more, had a nasty experience once that put me off it, but the smell from those bottles is very nice, that I can tell you.

And that's before the wine selection...

But bah, hate the wines anyway, pulling pints and doing whiskeys, that I can handle just fine. I remember when I was still new on the job and someone asked for a White Wine Spritzer...I blue screened, never even heard of it before. Still, I've usually got enough of the old charm to talk myself out of most embarrassing situations...

Damn beer pumps have been rebelling on me lately, no matter what angle I tilt the pint glass the damn things froth up like a rabid dog, quite annoying having to wait for it to calm down.

Default Four Whiskey Quotes

“Love makes the world go round? Not at all. Whiskey makes it go round twice as fast.”
( Compton Mackenzie)

“Everything in moderation except whiskey, and sometimes too much whiskey is just enough.”
(Mark Twain)

"The water was not fit to drink. To make it palatable, we had to add whisky. By diligent effort, I learnt to like it."
(Sir Winston Churchill)

"What butter and whiskey won't cure, there is no cure for."
(Irish Saying)

I wonder, which mod took the liberty to edit the topic from Whisky to Whiskey?

Nono, I didn't meant it that way. I just realized someone sneaky did change it!

Though, the fairest would be Whiskey/Whisky, I assume, you might change it to that?
