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 :D

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

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).

My favourite is Spey, single malt, a very smooth palatable whiskey

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

Re: On the theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

You spell it anyway you want when you've had a few:D

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.

Re: On the theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

I prefer bourbon....but the best whisky I've tasted was some 12yr old Chivis Regal

Re: On the theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

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.:tongueout

:confused:..oerrr! yet another Liverpool supporter jumps out the closet!

Re: On the theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

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......:)

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.
