Recommendations for a smooth whisky please.

[So]

I am forsaking all alcohol except very dry wine and whisky. I am not a big whisky fan though, and outside of Glenmorangie I've little experience.

Can anyone suggest something really smooth to be consumed just with ice please?

Many thanks.

I know about that thread, Al. But it will no doubt include some that are as rough as badger's arse. I want smooooth.

Tamnavulin is a very smooth whisky to me.

yup. i agree. bought that on recommendation on here.

I might give that a try, but it does sound like a prescription drug for a urinary tract infection.

I am on a restrictive diet due to a gut problem. Whisky and very dry wines are the only alcoholic beverages allowed.

Tamnavulin is £20 (70cl) in ASDA at the moment (down from £32).

It sounds like medication for a urinary tract infection.

Real men drink cask strength. ?

Age is what smooths a whisk(e)y (or indeed any spirit), although not all climates are equal. A 12 year old bourbon is significantly smoother than a 18 year old Scotch for example.

Just polished off a glass of 39 year old Armagnac - now that is smooth.

Try Elijah Craig Barrel Proof and thank me later.

Thank you.

I am going to call into Weavers in Nottingham today to see what they can offer.
