I think you have got that a little mixed up. It is either 40% by volume or 40 degrees proof. I hope it was % by volume

Many people get the two mixed up so I will let you off

Have a read of this interesting wiki for an explaination of where proof came from.

In the UK 40% alcohol by volume (ABV) would be 70 degrees proof.
In the US they would call it 80 proof or 40% alcohol by volume (ABV).

It’s spelt Whisky if it’s from Scotland. And Whiskey everywhere else.

Re: On the theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?

I used to drink whisky and dry ginger. It was my "tipple" for years, loved it, liked Teachers' or Bell's. For about the last 15 years I haven't been able to touch the stuff and even the smell of it makes me nauseous. Odd!

The Islay whiskys. Laphroaig in particular.

I think you had better get a stock of both and a jar of 'Bitter Alum' before you get down to the wick on the fingernails. The Scousers are coming to get you pal. as an aside, get some chigly as well, it may help.

Nothing of the sort......the two teams that I support have both won today and I'm quite happy with that....what will put the icing on the cake is Man U loosing or drawing on Sunday which will make the league more interesting......

Re: On the theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?

Like your choice shakermaker, Glemmorangie is my scotch in single malts. The smoothest blended scotch I,ve ever had was Manchester United special blend. The wife brought me a bottle back on one of her visits home. Smooooooth as the team it,s named after.

Re: On the theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?

Nicest Blended Whisky for me is the Isle Of Skye 8 yr old. Really smooth, each Whisky in the blend is at least 8 yrs old, but many are much older, not too easy to get outside Scotland though.

For Single Malts it depends on the mood and the time i'm having one. But i like Balvenie Double Wood, Old Pulteney, Dalwhinnie, Laphroaig and Glenmorangie Portwood finish.

Best Regards - Taggy
