Andy inspired me to get the Balvenie 12 yr Doublewood.

Holy Leaving Las Vegas!!!!!

So I started the night with some good 'ol #7 JD. As usual, very sweet and good.

Then I moved on to the Balvenie 12 yr Doublewood. Not to shabby. However, I haven't developed the taste for Scotch yet. I'm partial to Bourbon & Tennesse whiskey at this point.

Next was some Jameson, my first real attentive approach to Irish whiskey. I gotta say......I LIKED it, alot. I'm gonna have to pursue the Irish a bit more.

I'm finishing the evening by downing the last of my Wild Turkey 101 (not the Rye in the picture). I'm just not sold on WT. I can't get the idea of it tasting like medicine out of my head.

I personally like Bushmills Irish whisky - can't remember which one but I think it was a special reserve that was the best - I will check when I get out of these mountains - up here doing the Bear Grylls survival thing - wandering around aimlessly during the day and drinking heavily whilst eating steak and lobster at night.

I dedicated the weekend to Scotch and Irish Whiskey. In a few short days I've been able to gain a much greater appreciation for good scotch. I definitely like the Balvenie Doublewood. Andy C - great recommendation.

Irish Whiskey, with it's triple distillation process, is really smooth and enjoyable. But I know I've really only scratched the surface with generic brands like Jameson and Tullamore Dew. More to come on that.

Beer is always good.

Tonight, it's time for a little Dickel. Don't get me confused with Adam. I'm talking about the whiskey here.

Tonight's early selection was a Glenlivet 12 yr Scotch at dinner. It went well with Sushi.

Now, I'm trying to finish off a small bottle of Early Times I bought last week. I've certainly had better bourbon than this. But, you can't win everytime and I will do my duty to drink it to the dregs.

[ssgharkness020147]

Good move. Stay away from the Early Times.
Thompsons is what burned me out on whiskey. The bar across the street had Makers, JD, and Thompsons. By the time I started venturing over that way I had already burned myself out on JD, so that was out of the equation.
Makers was only served straight up, thats all fine and well but when I'm trying to get drunk its not possible to drink that much whiskey straight up. Also, you were not allowed to shoot Makers.
That left Thompsons.... I have alot of vague remberences' of nights while drinking that stuff like it was going out of style. I lost it one time too many, ever since whiskey has just not been the same. I'm hoping that one day my gag reflex will go away, I tried to force myself through it by drinking more whiskey. That was a very bad idea.

Ah Bushmills and Glenlivet - both admirable choices. My quest for the perfect Whisky is on hold for the time being - I am sitting here in Frankfurt airport - probably one of the most dismal in the bloody world by the way - with six hours to kill - heading back to sunny Kazakstahn where the weather is a balmy -20C at the moment - lovely - back to drinking vodka that can make you go blind just smelling it.

[frenzy1]

Makes me wanna start drinkin' whiskey !!!!

[CO Hummer]

Tonight's medley........

(1) Crown Royal on the rocks
(2) Johnny Walker Black, rocks

I'm feeling a softie coming on.........
