Tonight I am enjoying a rare privilege, a lovely 12 year old Aberlour single malt whisky. A friend, in poor financial straits sold me part of a bottle that was a gift. This whisky is not available at the LCBO and is just lovely. It's not too peaty, and has a rich caramel flavour.
Being a proud Canuck, I enjoy a good rye, and that would be whisky. However, Canadian ryes do not have enough rye to be called rye whiskys abroad, and are known as Canadian whiskys!
My favourite whiskeys are Irish Whiskeys though. I usually buy Jamesons, although Redbreast is for when I am flush enough.
Bourbons are corn whiskeys, and one of the best known, Jack Daniels, is not bourbon at all, but Tennessee Sippin' Whiskey. I'm guessing it doesn't have enough corn to be bourbon.
I thought I'd share a good site for those who don't know about scotches, or would like to learn more,
Let me know your favourites.
Cheers,
Jazzy
