Speaking of Friday.... I know you're a connoisseur.

Have you had this? It's really smooth stuff. I highly recommend.

Jameson Caskmates

Two heads are said to be better than one, and this whiskey adds serious weight to that argument. Emerging from a conversation between our head distiller and the head brewer of Cork’s Franciscan Well Brewery, Jameson Caskmates has been finished in stout-seasoned whiskey casks. While our triple-distilled smoothness is very much intact, notes of cocoa, coffee and butterscotch confirm the stout influence.

Caskmates is a head-turning, modern Irish whiskey.

Nose: crisp orchard fruits like green apples and pears, mild pot still spices

Taste: Subtle touch of hops and cocoa beans, Marzipan and charred oak

Finish: Long and sweet with Milk Chocolate and Butterscotch

Where is my favourite Otis

When we were on the Jackie Opel thread, I thought of mentioning Otis but decided to try and keep the thread pure.

We lost so many great folks to car accidents and many of them were'nt accidents - they were guys driving too fast often after having way too much to drink.

Not yet, but thanks for the tip - will pick up a bottle and report back! wink The stout seasoned cask sounds very appealing....

The real (single malt) Whisky Connoisseur is openning, I am apologetically a Caribbean rum aficionado.

@Chrissy: you can close your eyes and pick with Otis. Gone too soon.

Nothing wrong with an aficionado of RUM. El Dorado 15 yo is my favorite.

I am a lover of single Malts Scotch whiskeys, from either the Highlands or the Lowlands.

So recommend something apposite then nah


I would bring my Single Malts to a party, friends and guest would enjoy, I really don't know, how well your Jameson will be excepted.
BTW, having work around alcoholic beverage most of my life, it is what one enjoys

I'm not disagreeing with you on the Jameson... I'm just trying to get some recommendations, actually.

I do love me some single malt scotch as well.

I've had the McAllan, the Glenfiddich, Glenlivet, and others.... the former is my favorite from the bunch.

What's your favorite or Top 5 if you can't pick just one.....???
