John Kerry is a FN idiot
"Gilligan" wrote in message news  "Maxprop" wrote in message k.net... "Gilligan" wrote in message . .. Right-O Thom! What do you drink anyway? Do you like single malts? He likes boiler-room coffee, so I doubt if he'd go for single malts, especially Islay. Maybe Jim Beam? Max Do you like single malts? A crackling fire and a bottle of 20 year old Lagavulin contribute to a fine evening for me. I love Highland and Lowland scotches, too, but the Islay are the best, IMHO. My wife loves them, too. We also love Irish whiskeys, too, but single-malts are rare in Erin. And you? Max |

Hey, I just got a bottle of 10 year old Laphroaig as a gift. Is it any good?

I like Laphroaig, but Lagavulin is somewhat better IMO, especially the older stuff. Islay (pronounced EYE-luh) scotches tend to be peaty and smokey. They are the single-malts that gave scotch the "medicine" moniker than persisted for decades. You either like them or you don't. If you don't, try highland malts for a less dry scotch. Max |

Single-malts are like icing on the life cake. That bottle should last a couple of weeks, Jon. Islay malts aren't much good for guzzling with buddies over a 49ers game, albeit I can understand how you might wish to do so. g Max |

I don't drink enough to go through a lot of them, but they are enjoyable. I have a bottle of Glenfiddich, Glen Mornay(?) and one other. I've had a large bottle of Maker's Mark for over 25 years (don't drink it much). |

I've had a large bottle of Maker's Mark for over 25 years (don't drink it much). I like bourbon, too. Recently I've taken a liking to rye, but there aren't too many still produced. Recently Wild Turkey began producing a rye (essentially the single-malts equivalent of bourbon), but I haven't tried it. Jim Beam's rye is about the best so far. Old Overholt is less satisfying. One of my favorite single-malts is Balvenie Double Wood. Give it a try. Max |
