The flavour is really good but of course, the longer maturing, the better.....
It's like when you open a new bottle of any single malt - the longer it's open, the better it tastes.........and the end bit is always delicious.

If you're ever in Langenthal, come along to our shop and try some...........

Sounds like a plan...

I'll bring a bottle of "Olde Deer" along, then.....

The 2 whiskies from the Basel region, "Holle" and "Our Beer" are not too bad and very drinkable (and only cost 50SFr a bottle).



Not a patch on a 18yro Islay, but not undrinkable. I'm up for a sampling event... I'll bring the BS/BL ones

Pat

hmm, got me thinking now !!!

Usually attend a certain event in an English/Scottish pub in Basel but the Swissotel Haggis just ain't ringing any bells this year.

I have 2 Simon Howie Haggi in the freezer but need some Black pud and a few bringers of certain cheer before this goes ahead.

I ain't supplying everything.
(I am Scottish after all!)

.......................................

Hey - Basel is not so far.....I am up for this (I am a bit Scottish, after all.....and once it's in the blood.........)

Hey, Leni. You got any Yam Yam in you?

Yam yam??
Noooooo way......!!!!!!

I just hope you don't follow that statement with "Do you want some?"

Spoil sport!

Don't forget you are a married man.

Had that Liechtenstein Whisky on the Whisky Ship. Excellent, but I prefer a Jameson, or a Tullamore Dew or a Bushmills, plus some Scottish things clearly.


Then there is the one of Mr Bader in Lauwil


which also is quite good. Actually the oldest Swiss Whisky. The one pictured in fact is another one, also produced in Switzerland.

And this here is another one, actually from the producer who was the first in Switzerland, just 10 years ago

You cannot sell Whisky as "Eau de Vie" ! And they may not be up to Scottish and Irish standards, but will beat those North American "acids" any time !

I'm a big fan of Scottish Islay malts, but I wouldn't put down North American whiskies. There are some very good quality bourbons and ryes and sometimes they work where a scotch wouldn't.

It is pronounced Slanje Va, most people just say 'Slanj'

the best whiskey I've ever had was a 50 year old Glenfidich, everything else is pale in comparison.

Yes, but I spelled it correctly!

Care to drop a couple of names? I know someone who's partial to his Caol Ila and his Lagavulin too; I tried him on an American bourbon once (I know nothing about them so just got the most expensive-but-still-affordable one they had in duty free don't even remember what it was now) and he wasn't impressed at all. What should I be looking out for?

No? My mum loved it although she said it was a tad strong.
