The Lovely Lin sends this along...
In Lin's words: "delightful," and I concur. I've never had Whyte & Mackay Whisky and I wasn't sure the brand is available here in the USofA until I googled it (it is). I SO agree with more than a few things said here, not the least o' which are the comments about multiple orgasms and "on the rocks." I'll freely admit to adding a single ice cube in my Scotch every once in a while, but no more. Usually I'll add just a splash o' water and that's it, depending on what it is I'm drinking. Some whiskeys deserve to be drunk neat and you'll know them when you have them. There's a limit to how much I agree with here, though: I NEVER swirl and toss it out. Whiskey is much too dear for that kinda nonsense.

I can think of much better things to do with the rinse, too.
ReplyDeleteLike save it for company you don't much care what you serve them ;-)
...even better if they don't care for scotch.
ReplyDeleteI don't think **I'd** much care for Whyte & Mackay, based upon the reviews I read. The "regular" is apparently some low-end, nasty stuff. The 22 year-old might be pretty good... aging does wondrous things to both whiskey AND people. ;-)
DeleteUntil I saw this vid, I'd never heard of the stuff.
DeleteHaig & Haig was my label of choice until I was introduced to Dewars about 1965.
But as I mentioned before even that went by the boards after someone gifted me a bottle of Glenfiddich.
Not that any of that matters any longer.
Glenfiddich was my first single-malt, as well. But you know that...
