Christ lord no!!!!!! Islay with Jura?!?!

Islay - quite possibly the most disgusting available bar maybe Laphroaig
Jura - beautiful whisky and easily my favourite by a long chalk

Sorted that for you

Try Ardberg much more subtle that Laphroaigs' slap in the face approach.

Whiskey is the Irish spelling
Whisky is the Scottish spelling.

Oh i've try an ardbeg (can't remember which)...I still remember the gasps as I spat it back into the glass and proclaimed it as disgusting...

I can't stand Islay's.

Yeah but W&M is a 'Scottish' Whisky, so it's right on the bottle...

Whyte & Mackay is perfectly acceptable, I prefer it to Grouse personally, as an every day whisky. You can't drink malts every day...you'd be poor

An 'every day whisky' ?! I think you need this link http://www.alcoholics-anonymous.org.uk/

Meh!

This is what proper racing chaps drink, shots! Lots of them....but then, they are Polish and Russian...

I used to drink Whyte and Mckay when I was very poor and its ok. I now love my Islay Whisky - would like to try the jura/islay blend in that "rubber necking" sort of way, as I just can't imagine them going together well.

Currently drinking a Caol Ila 12 year old (more subtle than the other islands malts) and a Laphroaig 1/4 cask, which I love, but would describe as "get a bunch of used matches,cover in iodine, season, set light, then chew". Its a tough sell, but I like it.

If you like your whisky then I'd avoid Whyte and Mackay like the plague...

Ah, so that explains the lack of cash then...


These look interesting, I'd probably try the Sutil, if I had the choice. Remember there's an epic whisky thread going in the Food & Drink section if anyone wants some advice!

Try a Lagavulin... Tried it last weekend, and I was pleasantly surprised by it's taste.

Does anyone else wish they'd sponsored Ferrari so we could have got a description of a Fernando Alonso whisky?!?

I think it would be quite bitter and a bit salty (tears) with a very peppery after taste.
