Unreal, we have completely different tastes - I love my country but it makes some horrid coconut-ty tasting swill and labels it as whiskey. One of my life long dreams is to setup a distillery here and produce some right proper peat-y smokey scotch.

@coliver It's on my bucket list to visit
-
Scotch tastes like burnt mud... there, I said it. I'll take the rotting corn, sour-mashiness of bourbon over burnt mud. That being said, I do have a bottle of Bulleit Rye at home rt now...
Which Canadian whiskey tastes like coconut??? And @MattSpeller do they still make Breton's Hand and Seal whiskey? That's the finest Canadian booze I ever tasted.

I suppose that leaves more for me! I enjoy Bullet when looking for a cheaper alternative to scotch for mixing.

The worst offender by far is Crown Royal (and it's many copies).
I've enjoyed Collingwood but they want a premium for it that IMHO it does not deserve.

I'll have to look for it! Never heard of such a beast.

Collinwood is the one I always get for Canadian Whiskey.

@MattSpeller Scotch is where it is at. I love the floral highland scotch's!
-
@brianlittlejohn Aye, the highlands make some fine ones but I'll take a right proper filthy smokey peaty Islay any day.
-
@brianlittlejohn I think the highland ones just lack the proper quantity of suffering that the ones on the islands experienced in spades.
-
@MattSpeller What are some of your favorite Islay scotch's?
-
@brianlittlejohn #1 http://www.laphroaig.com/qc/index.htm
Lagavulin makes some fine ones as well, but quarter cask is far superior.

Mine too. I have a bottle back home.
-
@MattSpeller @scottalanmiller I will have to make that my next purchase.
-
@brianlittlejohn @scottalanmiller How much is it in the states for a 750ml bottle of quarter cask? I pay $65-$70CDN
-
@MattSpeller I'm seeing it online between $45 - $55 USD... i don't know what the actual liquor store will have priced at.
-
@MattSpeller I may have to swing by the liquor store on my way to get dinner.
