Nikka Whisky from the barrel.
Symphony No1 from Lark distillery Tasmania
Monkey Shoulder, for the price you get it for at Dan Murphy, its the best
I quite like the Japanese ones at he moment. Yamakazi, Hibiki, Suntory.
Makers mark - neat
Any recommendations for whiskey thats served well on the rocks and any cheaper whiskey to make highball?
I have had Oban before, I had it on the rocks and it was quite nice but for the same price range there should be other alternatives right?

For evenings, cant go wrong with Macallan and most isle single malt scotchs. Neat.
For mornings, Jamesons and hot black coffee. Any Irish works.
For harsher days,
Jim Beam Devil's Cut (43%)
Smokehead High Voltage (58%)
For happy days with friends,
Rye whiskeys (Bulleit Rye and Jim Beam Rye are both great)
For lighthearted family conversations with the missus, Japanese whiskys great.
Nikka and Talisker are the ones on the top of my list.
Currently though, really loving Sullivans Cove from Tassie.
Never had a bad whisky yet.
Oh and I was watching a cooking show last night and they were talking about whiskey. This IPA experimental whiskey by Glenfiddich sounded really interesting.
Pretty much anything Speyside/Highland. Currently on some Glenmorangies. Don't like anything that is peaty or smoky. Tastes like dirt to me. Ardbeg is loved by most but hated by me
Glenmorangie original 10 year. Just finished a bottle of Infrequent Flyers 16 year from a Moscatel Hogshead cask from Speyside. Super drop! The Oak Barrel on Elizabeth St in the city has an awesome range of Scotch whiskey, love this shop!
Glenmorangie or Archie rose.
with one large ice cube very early in the morningQuote:

Whiskies are much more diverse in taste because of the malting process. Brandy typically have similar tastes but the higher the rating means that it's been aged for much longer.
I'll say one advantage of brandy it makes nicer cocktails than scotch. Are there any well known and decent cocktails containing scotch?
Ive found subconciously i buy and enjoy brandy when in mellow mood.
Scotch cocktail, go for rusty nail. But not many places can do, need a specific liquor mixer i think. i think best is still neat. Tried scotch n coke, i still much prefer bourbon n coke. Tried scotch n coffee, irish whiskey still taste better
Love Irish coffee now and thenQuote:

Have you ever done a long island iced tea?
Back when I was living in Malaysia, the most popular drink in the bar is a cocktail called Flaming Lamborghini. It's supposedly strong that it can knock many people out if they're not strong drinkers. One drink is equivalent to roughly 3-4 shots of tequila.
My genetics probably saved me from getting knocked out because a bunch of local Chinese men were eyeing my ex-gf. Their trick was to try and get the bf drunk by buying them the strongest drink, then taking the drunk gf away somewhere for a gangbang. They were surprised that after 2 Flaming Lamborghinis I was still standing. The drinks were pretty expensive, I thanked them for the drinks and left the bar with my ex-gf.
Getting home was messy - I spewed on my steering wheel while driving (I was recklessly DUI but didn't get caught). Had to clean everything up while drunk, showered and went to bed with the ex-gf naked. Suddenly she asked me to rub her clits and we started fucking. Woke up with a terrible headache and realised there was blood all over the bed because she was on her period.
Johnny Walker Black label for sure
Yamazaki , Chinta, lochlea , cotswolds , bushmill, taketsuru.
