Mike and judy.....I'd like to have a look...Jimbo     magpies41@aapt.net.au

Agree with Dave, Cascade Light or Jamiesons Irish with diet coke.....
But as I worry about the effects of alchohol on my soul I find I don't drink much these days, a glass with a meal occasionaly.

G'day,

Well I quite enjoy a Carlton Dry but my favourite would have to be a malt or any 12 to 15 year old whiskey uncontaminated by anything, no water,ice or coke just plain old Scotch or Irish Whiskey, the nectar of the Gods.

Was wondering if there was anyone else out there that  enjoyed scotch the way it should be drank......on it's own nothing added, how poeple can pour COKE on a scotch..........sacrilige!!!

 

well Basil I reckon our fragile discerning palate would revolt against raw liquor if not eased down a wee bit by a softer mix,

common as muck some people, why would they risk contaminating the booze with a glass they should just put the bottle in a brown paper bag and suck on it like it is,

we, being of refined character and tastes, would much rather ease it down and enjoy the flavour

Love tasting all sorts of beer.
Also enjoy the juice of the grape.
And once or twice a week I have a Large Whisky Ice and Water.

Used to drink whisky neat when I was at sea in the sixties. Then a scots engineer told me to try it with water (cut it with water he said) and realy taste the flavours. I found his advice was correct. That's the way I have enjoyed it ever since.

All the Distillery's I have visited in Scotland, and even at a "Single Malt Whisky" tasting seminar here in Perth. We were asked to Cut the whisky with water to bring out the flavours.

Nothing beats a wee dram cut with the water from a tumbling Highland Stream that you are camped alongside. Wish they would bottle that water.

Bridgee,
I'm with you - scotch was meant to be enjoyed in its natural state. I will occasionally add a little ice - depending on the weather.
My brand is Dewars - White Label as it is know now.
I have been looking for a bottle of Dewars "Ancestor" for some time now for that 'special' occasion.
My beer nowadays is home brew.
I make a mean James Squire Amber Ale - but low carb of course.
Makes some commercial beers taste very soapy to me.
Note my comment below........'If they tell you.........'

And Dave says he is ' refined character' ......refined my big foot! I think we are the refined people here and when one participates in a fine scotch with an ice block we are obviously going for quality not quantity like some people who insists on  killing the taste with coin/toilet cleaning chemicals..........coke!!

 

yeah, we tried the coke in the toot, works like magic

Ah! What a socialable lot we are. What a gathering we could have.
My fave bevvy is Bundy with ginger beer, or dry ginger. I don't drink coke with anything, not even coke.
Hahn Light is my beer of choice if it's very cold and the day is very hot. Otherwise Carlton Mid, or in WA Emu Draft, commonly called pensioners' piss in WA because it's cheap by the 30 can block.
As a native of the Barossa I did my apprenticeship sipping port with my grand parents from a very young age. A smooth Tawny is oh so good after a meal. I also enjoy any dry red, cooled, with Merlot in it, and a smooth dry white, as long as it's cold.
Room temperature in the tropics is not nice. I prefer my wine off the boil.
Cheers to all. Granny

I am a fan of the pure blonde on a hot day but my passion is with the grapes and good drop of red. My two favourites both come from McLaren vale in SA but different wineries. And the duriff a few of our local wineries make is not too bad either. I remember as a kid we used to put penny's in the coke and leave them there to see how long it took before they started to dissolve and they did dissolve. A scary thought! chezgo

Give me a good Chivas Regal anyday, on a cold night neat,(warms the ****els of your heart) on a hot night with coke and ice. Thes best of both worlds.

All this chatter about various intoxicating fluids prompts me to enquire if anyone here makes home brewed beer while on the road?

Jeez, Dave, I get overrun with freeloaders as it is and run over in the dash to the fridge when I say those fatal words: "Beer anyone?"
No wot I meen?
