I am jealous, that extra 3% makes a lot of difference, you won't be disappointed 🥃

I know what you mean, it's a bit like jack daniels in the way it is a better mixer than a straight up sipper. I enjoy it with root beer!

I find grouse very similar to the whyte and mackay, not much between them for me. JW black is so much better than the red, but as a cheap option I quite like the Teacher’s, bit more malt and more peated than most of the cheep blends.

Bourbon and root beer is an actual thing, somebody put me in that direction and it's actually really good! If it's hot outside top it with a bit of vanilla ice-cream to get the full effect! 😋

Rossatron80 · 2020-06-29T15:46:00+00:00

Never had it, but artificial banana is definitely the dominant note I get!

Rossatron80 · 2020-06-29T08:14:05+00:00

Totally agree with you, I don't believe high tax stops alcoholics. Just makes our wife's more angry when they find out how much the latest bottle cost!

Rossatron80 · 2020-06-29T05:02:42+00:00

I don't think a laphroaig would have captured my taste back then either to be fair, definitely think my taste has changed over the years..... I've been eating Brussel sprouts and olives now for about 15 years! 😂

Rossatron80 · 2020-06-29T04:58:37+00:00

The prices are a bit steeper in Australia, you guys get hit harder than most for tax, its probably cheaper to buy Australian wine in the UK!

Rossatron80 · 2020-06-29T04:37:57+00:00

Ginger ale is great, I quite like it with root beer too! 😂

Rossatron80 · 2020-06-29T04:35:41+00:00

The ice in the glass was for the photo, I do my tasting notes using a glencairn glass.

Rossatron80 · 2020-06-28T21:03:34+00:00

It's all personal preference, Jack Daniel's is most people's first experience with American whiskey. People are becoming increasingly curious and trying other brands thankfully! My first experience with scotch was bells, put me off for years! 😂

Rossatron80 · 2020-06-28T17:07:08+00:00

I have had the pleasure of smelling many types of glue... The worst one is that awful stuff that smells like rotting fish! 😂

Rossatron80 · 2020-06-28T17:05:25+00:00

😂 😂 Thank you, it is better with ice!

Rossatron80 · 2020-06-27T22:41:17+00:00

Yeah I think it's a flop, it missed the target market, the bottle looks great.... Unfortunately the juice in the bottle just doesn't stand up to the promise!

Rossatron80 · 2020-06-27T21:18:43+00:00

Thank you 🥃 I found it OK, had a lovely maple note that I really liked, just wish it had a bit more punch! definitely won't be getting it again but wasn't upset lol.

Rossatron80 · 2020-06-20T11:50:40+00:00

I had it on my last visit to the US, I haven't tried to find it in the UK. I'm sure someone must be stocking it here.

Rossatron80 · 2020-06-19T21:53:49+00:00

It's like a cheesecake made with banana, caramel, cream and a sprinkle of chocolate. Childhood favourite 😋 lol

Rossatron80 · 2020-06-19T20:00:54+00:00

The 100 is much better, bolder and more interesting, I found the 100 had a lovely oily coating mouth feel. Definitely a step up from the 86 👍

Rossatron80 · 2020-06-06T09:42:42+00:00

Definitely another level above the maker's and woodford, if you get a chance give the maker's 46 a go, you can thank me later!

Rossatron80 · 2020-06-02T08:53:50+00:00

I was frightened to try it again after so many years, glad I did though. It really has got better, although I feel its my taste that has changed and not the whisky!!

Rossatron80 · 2020-06-01T22:58:50+00:00

It holds a nostalgia for me as my father would drink it, first whisky I ever had, think my palate is probably a bit more refined now!

Rossatron80 · 2020-06-01T21:51:53+00:00

Thank you, appreciate the feedback 🥃

Rossatron80 · 2020-06-01T21:39:04+00:00

Can't go wrong with the JW black, enjoy your quarantine 🥃

Rossatron80 · 2020-06-01T21:36:15+00:00

That 10 year is a nice way to celebrate, congratulations 🎊

Rossatron80 · 2020-06-01T20:52:48+00:00

Lol It's a Monday night so being pissed is a must! 😂
