It was lucky I was given Glenlivet as I do not like Islay malts.
Speyside for me.

Had they given me Lagavulin or Laphroaig I would have said thanks but not partaken.
Talisker was also a bit hard.
My favourites are Balvenie, Cragganmore, Macallan and Glenlivet.
And Grants !Triangular bottle how cool.
Islay malts I will say NO!

I don't mind a bit of frog but the prices went silly a while back. Same with all the big names.

Im not a whiskey drinker, and have rarely tried whiskey, but now my grandaughter has been promoted to brand marketing manager for Jameson's, I suspect trials may be looming. Has anyone tried the Aldi single malt whisky? I like rum, and they do a very nice dark spiced rum about £5 per bottle cheaper than Dead Mans Fingers or Capn Morgan Black which leaves the competition for dead.

Anything single malt will be ok. But sadly the idea that more expensive is better is often true when it comes to whisky. Not an immutable law though.

Not found a whisky I don't like , just some's better than others.
Aldi and Lidl own brand Islay, Speyside and Highland whisky are good for the money (£17 - £18)
Irish whiskey isn't my choice but I'll drink it ... a bit sticky sweet to my taste.
Recently discovered spiced rums (Captain Morgan's and Aldi own brand) and enjoy both.
My brother, when asked what his favourite drink is, always answers this one ... seems about right 👍🏻

Jamesons is okay it’s the rebels whiskey. It’s the black bush, unionist’s whiskey that I won’t drink. I think my preference for grain whiskey comes from when I lived in Ireland, I used to drink the poteen regularly. Support local business and all that. Before anybody says something I know poteen is not made from grain, not usually anyway.

From their unprofessional conduct, to their ingrained dishonesty, and their general lack of moral decency, C&RT's corrupt management and its crooked lawyers have a great deal in common with the corrupt management and crooked lawyers at the Post Office, . . the dishonest so-called professionals who, between themselves and the blinkered Court system, have been the architects of the most serious miscarriage of justice in British legal history. At the time of the original prosecutions, and during the ongoing inquiry into the Post Office's wrongful prosecutions brought against so many hundreds of Sub-postmasters, there is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that the Post Office's corrupt management, and its crooked lawyers, have been wilfully lying to and misleading the Courts for a great many years with their concocted evidence and intentionally evasive testimony. I wonder what it is that makes the half dozen or so ill-intentioned mindless arsewipes that make up the Thunderboat forum's mutual adoration club, . . so vociferously defensive of the Canal & River Trust's [C&RT] corrupt management and crooked lawyers, . . who, when it comes to misleading and lying to the Courts, are every bit the equal of the Post Office's professional liars.Why are such a tiny handful of bigoted and stupid members of the Thunderboat forum so insistent that these professional liars wouldn't be capable of doing, or haven't already done, something remarkably similar to what the Post Office managers and lawyers did, and in some cases still are doing, to all those Sub-Postmasters through the Courts, . . to the hundreds of boat owners who have, in effect, had their boats, homes, and personal goods and belongings stolen from them by means of a well rehearsed pseudo-legal sham, with the outward appearance of a correct and properly conducted legal process, but in truth entails lying to and deceiving everyone, from, firstly and most importantly, the Courts, . . then the Police, . . and finally the owner or occupier of the boat in question. Since its formal beginning in July 2012 the C&RT has dishonestly obtained huge numbers of what are technically (in Law) worthless Court Orders that have then been used by C&RT staff and contractors committing the serious criminal offence of impersonating bona fide Officers of the Court (formerly known as Bailiffs) and calling themselves 'Enforcement Officers', unlawfully to evict people from their boats, . . then unlawfully to seize their boats (usually complete with all contents, personal belongings, tools, goods etc.), . . then finally, and again unlawfully, . . craned out of the C&RT controlled or managed inland waterway, and transported, from wherever in England or Wales it might happen to be, by road, to storage on farm land near Chester. The storage land at the farm near Chester, where all these so-called 'removed' Section 8 boats are taken, is owned by one Brian Clarke, the crooked Managing Director and owner of a company called Commercial Boat Services [CBS]. It is CBS that provides C&RT with the phoney 'Enforcement Officers', . . the ones who lie to and deceive the Police, so that they, . . the phoney 'Enforcement Officers', are then left free to intimidate and forcibly evict boat owners from their boats and homes. CBS also arranges and invoices C&RT for the cranes and the road transport to take the unlawfully 'seized' so-called 'removed Section 8 boats' to Brian Clarke's farm near Chester, . . where the expensive storage for all of them is paid for, weekly, by C&RT. Brian Clarke makes a lot of money out of stealing people's boats on behalf of the C&RT, . . but it isn't known, yet, just exactly how those who make this possible for him benefit from the huge amounts of dosh they ensure is transferred regularly into Clarke's various bank accounts. ________________________________________________________ The above post, and others similarly affected, will be reposted for as many times as is necessary for it to be seen and replied to by anyone with sufficient intelligence to read and understand it. The orchestrated stalking indulged in by a small clique of malevolent forum trolls will not be allowed to prevent my conducting conversations with other forum members, by swamping and obscuring every post I make with their irrelevant pointless drivel. These mindless idiots are also reminded, . . once again, . . of this :- www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1997/40/contents
