If your ever stuck again go on to the Loch Fyne whiskies site reasonable price. More importantly he gives tasting note on any he's tried. I' dissagreed with a couple of his taste reports ,but agreed with 99.9

The only thing you should put in a malt, is another measure.

Very very very occasionally, I may put a TINY amount of filtered water (the water round here is DISGUSTING) into something that's around 48% or over.

Thanks for the answer mate, to me i think it would just water the flavour down, think i will stick to having it neat.

Took a whiff of some Monkey shoulder at a bar the other night and thought my face was going to catch fire.

I like the idea of being a whiskey drinker. What's a good whiskey for a "man" who likes Southern Comfort coke.

Do you just have to perservere with it?

Monkey Shoulder aint that bad, Ulster.
My dad bought me a bottle of it, last Christmas, and I was underwhelmed when I found out what he's bought me. However, when I opened it on the Boxing Day, I was very surpried....good stuff. Pity the greedy bugger helped me put a big dent in the amount left in the bottle

Does anyone know where i can get any empty beer bottles from for home brewing.

I hve tried my local pub but there are not many bottle drinkers in there.

Many thanks
