Ahhh Merih, you never disappoint, Talisker is a very strong(for the un-initiated) single malt, with peaty flavour, it really is a georgous whisky. Try one or two then drink the cheap stuff because after 2/3 you're just wasting it.

Hey Dubz! Talisker is the only brand got me into whiskey, made me actually enjoy the whiskey; not down it in order to get stone blind :-) Quality stuff! |

Good for you, If you ever come to Dublin I'll take you a wee quiet pub I know called Bowes' It specialises in lots of different Malts and Blends mostly Irish and Scots but a few American and even a Japanese one. As a rule of thumb Irish Whiskies are usually smoother. But it is each to their own, some people like the "peat-y" flavours of the Island Malts whereas others like the smooth taste of the Speyside varieties.
If you like Talisker you should also give Lagavulin or Laphroig a try.

p.s. Hope you're keeping well. |

Was out celebrating a friend's engagement on Friday night, went for one or two at about 6:30 and left about 2am, yesterday I was in a heap so I went for a "cure" spent another lazy afternoon (4 hours) in the pub and basically just topped up my system. Came home ate a chinese and crashed out about 7pm, missing the big fight last night and waking up at 6am this morning.
Yeah, Guinness is good for you...

Yesterday my friend sent me the following text:
I just want you to know you're not only a flirt when you're drunk...but you're mean...and loud!
to which I replied: Excuse me I'm loud even when I'm sober!
cheers Alcohol! ;)

A wee review of a beer recommended by our very own Ricv64...
This is a seriously nice beer.
A lot of "Pale Ales" tend to be bland due to their lightness and the fact that they are usually served near frozen, While Rolling Rock for example is a very refreshing beer it's not exactly filled with flavours and tastes. This is different, it tastes of malt & yeast but not in an overpowering way (like some real ales) It manages heady flavours with a light, clean, crisp taste. It is quite strong at 5.6% but tastes much weaker, I think this is a very deceptive, possibly dangerous, trait if drinking it all night. It is a bit expensive tho' @€2.54 for a 350ml Bottle (a bottle of Bud will cost you €1). At that price it is only for special occassions, I would recommend 2 or 3 before switching to your normal (cheaper) brand.
In my humble opinion this is one of the most perfectly balanced beers I have ever tasted.
Thanks MaZn !!
