Absolute bargain at that price.

Re: The ToonForum Whisky Club
Woodford I'd say is better, personally I'm not too bothered about Bullet. I'll happily drink it but wouldn't be my first choice in that price bracket.Micky Quim wrote: ↑Wed Jun 13, 2018 8:11 pmI find it a bit boring TBH, Sainsburys have Bulleit at £22 and Woodford at £25 which would be my preference

Strange that, I earlier said the exact same thing on the facebook bourbon page about it.Micky Quim wrote: ↑Wed Jun 13, 2018 8:11 pmI find it a bit boring TBH, Sainsburys have Bulleit at £22 and Woodford at £25 which would be my preference
Collected a bottle earlier and been disappointed. It's got the typical JD taste going on but at £25 I'd rather stick with Maker's Mark, Bulleit or Woodford.
I expected a £40 bottle of whiskey because that's how much it retails at usually, but for the same price Weller 12, Eagle Rare and Maker's 46 blow it out of the water.

Weller 12 and Eagle Rare certainly do (never had Maker's 46) and you can pick them up for £35 too.Aldridge Perez wrote: ↑Wed Jun 13, 2018 10:16 pmStrange that, I earlier said the exact same thing on the facebook bourbon page about it.Micky Quim wrote: ↑Wed Jun 13, 2018 8:11 pm

I've only ever bought JD single barrel when it's on offer for £25, and for that price I think it's decent. Wouldn't pay £40.

Re: The ToonForum Whisky Club
Ive tried numerous JD whiskies and they all taste pretty much the same. You are better off just going for normal JD when its on offer if that floats your boat. But given you can get other better bourbons now regularly on offer at the big supermarkets you are better off going for something elseAldridge Perez wrote: ↑Wed Jun 13, 2018 10:16 pmStrange that, I earlier said the exact same thing on the facebook bourbon page about it.Micky Quim wrote: ↑Wed Jun 13, 2018 8:11 pm

Re: The ToonForum Whisky Club
I went out to look at a car yesterday. After taking a look and having a chat the guy turned out to be a big fan of whisky too. He gave me some of his Old Forrester Birthday Blend, it was really really good, then another one and another one... then I had to get an uber home and now im waiting for uber to drop me back off there so I can drive to work....

Re: The ToonForum Whisky Club
A new Aldi opened near me. They had a very dodgy looking bottle of bourbon that is remarkedly similar to Jim Beam for £11 so I had to try it of course. And it tastes pretty much exactly the same i.e. awful! But their pink gin is rather nice and good value at £19 a bottle. You win some....
Re: The ToonForum Whisky Club
Has anyone tried that £13 bottle of whisky from Aldi? It's their own brand of whisky but experts and whisky lovers alike are wanking it off - I'm gonna get one to see what the fuss is about.
It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city.

What happens too is that as soon as it gets publicity then loads of people head out to try it. You might have more luck in your local stores than I do!Chappy Al-Shabab wrote: ↑Fri Jun 15, 2018 12:52 pmReally? f***ing hell it must be decent!Blještav Benny wrote: ↑Fri Jun 15, 2018 6:56 am

I'm on day 8/10 of a mini-detox (no booze or junk food) before going to France on Thursday. So far so good, the only time that I really fancied a drink was on Friday night but I got through it.
