I was a dedicated brandy drinker, as well as ales, but have more recently tried a good few whiskies.
Blackbush is on my list to try as yet, reputed to be excellent. Generally I like the older Speyside options. Oban - not in that group - is really smooth. The best Hine you can afford is a great brandy. And rums are 'double season' matured, as advised by an expert, the climate is such in the Caribbean that they mature twice as fast as a whiskey, so a vintage rum should be exceptionally smooth. I am still experimenting. The best beer I have had this year is Bateman's Mocha from the barrel. Superb.
Oyster. 1999 R1100S. Almost original.

Love Glenkinchie - a very light whisky, great as an aperitif. Not one for a winter's evening after dinner, though.

I've found many Cognac's to be smooth. I find Jack Daniels to be smooth. So surely there must be a Scotch out there that is palatable? So what do I ask for as a guaranteed smooth Scotch when I next visit Porridgestan? :)

Oh and I don't want to put water in it :)
Without doubt (I am no amateur fighting my way to the bar) it has to be Old Poultenay. nice on corn flakes too for an early morning pick me up :wink:

By the way, you can reach the distillery for this by walking over the Erskine bridge from the hotel on the Scottish Trip, and make up for this heinous crime whilst you're there :lol: :lol:
