I'm a big fan of whisky; I have four good bottles of single malt, and some Famous Grouse (blend) in my cupboard.
ReplyDeleteIf you want something tasty and exceptionally smooth, I recommend Caol Isla 18 year.
I don't drink anything but tea and pepsi . Don't get in any trouble that way . LOL
ReplyDeleteJohnnie Walker Black Label was a pronoun of very high class liquor. It cost more than 10,000 yen when I was a kid. Thanks to the sharp risen yen's appreciation it came down to cost 3,500 yen when I was 27. 3,500 yen is roughly speaking equivalent to $35.
ReplyDeleteScotch was my first experience in liquor at age 27. Before 27 I had never had any alcohol at all, aside from whether you believe or not. 27 was also the age I started teaching in a school.
Since then I have been an occasional lover of whisky. I have both Scotch and Bourbon.
'Famous Grouse' -I thought at a glace that it is Wild Turkey.
I often drink Four Roses- Bourbon or Johnnie Walker Red Label. It costs slightly over $10, I'm not sure I can afford to buy Caol Isla though, I try having either Grouse or Caol thinking upon my best friend's relaxing hours.
What should I say..I was impressed in catchphrases of commercial message in whisky's advertisement. I myself is not a habitual consumer of liquor -what a circumvent way of saying! See yes I drink alcoholic beverages once or twice not in a day, not in a week, not in a month, not even in a year. Last time I had liquor was several years ago.
ReplyDeleteI myself feel that I'd better have more liquor for health reasons.
Grouse isn't that special, but I find it more agreeable than Johnnie Walker or Bourbon.
ReplyDeleteCaol Isla is several times the price, but isn't a whisky to get drunk on. I sip a single measure occasionally, such as in the evening. You'll find that the other whiskies that you're used to simply won't compare. If you take your time, drinking it over weeks or months, it'll be a tipple worth having.
When I want to drink, I drink beer or red wine. Whisky, for me, is something special (and expensive).
So you started drinking when you started teaching? Somehow, I'm not surprised :o)
ReplyDeleteI started drinking and teaching at the same time. That's why I call 'whisky & life'..
ReplyDeleteI bought a Japanese Whisky recently just to try it. It's pretty good!
ReplyDeleteYamazaki whisky, as manufactured by Suntory Limited.
Yamazaki is a single malt I think, it's still very expensive to me.
ReplyDeleteI've got a rest of Johnnie Walker Red. Let's have a toast on line!
Many years ago Sean Connery made an appearance in advertising Japanese Whisky and he was criticised by Scotch whisky companies as 'treacherous'. Many Japanese whiskies are blended. Many Scotch not.
Shall we have a drink someday?
