My "Arty" whisky pic

So, why wouldn't you put water in your whisky? The distillers do; it doesn't come off the still at 40%!

You may like your whisky at 40% or higher but I suggest that you try adding a little water and then nose and taste it again. Hopefully, you will find that you have released notes that you didn't know were there. You may also find that your palate lasts the pace better as spirit at 40% tends to dull it somewhat.

I think you should do all yer posts in Welsh Steve.

Don't know it just doesn't feel right, for instance I'd not put water in an XO cognac either . So far I've only liked Lagavulin as I like its potency without the harshness I've found on many whiskies

[Elite Evil]

I think the lagavulin is overpriced. I actually prefer the Jura Prophecy, not as much posing power maybe but another oily peated whisky.

I like harsh whiskys though. Cask strength, undyed (Jura is a pretty bad example being bright orange) and non chill filtered.

And there is something wrong with that? Vanquished nation mate, you was conquered, that's why there isn't a welsh part in the union flag

Not to mention the pain and suffering that has had to be endured at the hands of welsh rugby

And there you've just shown that we all have different tastes and likes, and find what sort of whiskey works for us.

I don't like the peaty taste, so generally stick with speys or Glen Kinchie, and look for a darker colour than the yellow of American oak casks

Even the Welsh have to speak English in a Chinese chip shop.

There's English and there's English of course

Thick as the proverbial brick, and to think our future is in their hands. Very worrying.

But we, like, are so close to Jupiter here in England on the outer arm of the Solar System, like, I mean, it is sooooo huge in my big scope and that means it must be reeeely close like.

Need an update on a good new brand preferably single malt

Currently wading my way through a Dalwhinnie Winter's Gold  A lovely gift from a lovely friend.

'From Scotland's highest and coldest distillery comes a whisky distilled in winter for a smooth, heather honeyed taste.'

'Chill a bottle of Dalwhinnie Winter's Gold in the freezer and let this rich, golden whisky reveal its smooth, honeyed character as it warms in the mouth.'

Drinking it cold is a new experience for me, I don't usually do water and never ice!
