Scotch or Jack daniels?

29 Oct 2005

Coughing, snuffling and with a sore throat makes me an unattractive proposition and I feel so rotten we are staying in tonight.
Mrs v keeps offerring me millet seed and a cuttlefish bone but no sympathy. Says she is bound to catch it next. Cant keep anything to myself.
Any reccomendations? More Jack daniels or swap to a single malt?

Personally I save the good stuff for when Iâ€™m feeling well and can enjoy it. If Iâ€™m a little under the weather I go for a cheap scotch with a dash of peppermint, works for me.

Hmmm. I can certainly go with the first two Laird. I would like to put in a vote for Laphroiag - which is what is in our cupboard at the moment, and appears to be diminishing at an alarming rate :shock:
Down south I am currently drinking Glenfiddich, though ordinarily I prefer Glenmorangie or Glenfarclas.
Do you know, in all my years of whisky drinking (about 25 years now*) I don't think that I have ever actually tasted Macallan redface

Crazy, I know - but I cannot recall an evening when it has happened. Which either means that it hasn't or that I was too far gone to remember. However, if you recommend it then I will have to try and put that right.
For cold/flu remedies. Neat malt - the best you can get. If you want a hot toddy then take a blended whisky (Bells or Famous Grouse would be my choice) and, as someone has already suggested, add hot water and lemon to it. Almost worth getting a cold for!!
I am afraid that I don't really care for bourbon (JD or Southern Comfort). Both too sweet for my liking. If you can get it, I really recommend Glenfarclas 105. It is malt that has not been diluted to the usual 70 proof but has been left at 105 proof :shock: Absolute nectar and as smooth as velvet.

Now here's a spooky thing....having written this only a week ago, Sappho told me that a new upmarket wine merchants had opened in town (just 3 days ago). We duly went along today - purely in the interest of supporting local entrepeneurs, you understand redface

There was a locked section in the corner of the shop that had the really expensive fine wines and other special treats. Like a child confronted by a brightly lit sweet shop I pressed my nose to the glass to gaze on the forbidden fruits. What was the very first thing that my eye alighted upon? A bottle of Glenfarclas 105 :shock: :shock:
I could hardly believe my luck :happy: :happy:
I spoke to the proprieter who confessed that he had never tried it but had been recommended by someone 'in the trade' to have it as a speciality/curiosity. Having extolled its virtues, I asked if I could have it.
Not too many minutes later (after having indulged fully in a free wine tasting surprised

ops

I left the shop clutching a box containing 2 Tasmanian Pinot Gris, 1 McGuigan's Black Label Merlot, a rather extravagant Chateauneuf du Pape (believe me, it will be worth the second mortgage :shock:) a bottle of Creme de Cassis (for Kier Royale :twisted: )and the highly prized 105 worship

The bank account was Â£80 lighter :doh: :oops: and I walked home through the rain, clinging lovingly onto my box and smiling like a contented cat :smug:
I have tried the nectar (for reasons of quality control, you understand) and it is just superb. I got Sappho to try it and she expects to regain the power of speech sometime around next Wednesday rolleyes

The reason for this diatribe? To encourage as many of you as possible to try and locate this heavenly distillation.
All I need now is to find someone who will truly appreciate it to share it with. Jags? Laird and Lady Fee Bee? Can I tempt you?

ahhh, :cheers: no doubt the aroma of the 105 roused you. Well, it is safely stashed in the cupboard - waiting for you to come and try it!
Oh, and Sappho clearly likes the new avatar. Darling, you're dribbling again (Will passes Sappho a tissue) rolleyes
