Both skinny_puppy and thumb_screws recently convinced me to get in to the world of whisky (I'm a bourbon and rye kind of fellow — when not drinking cider or wine — so I basically know nothing going into this).
Finally pulled the trigger yesterday, and got myself this little blended Japanese number:
By no means top of the range, but — as a toe-dipper for someone like me — it was pretty exciting. Without getting into the granular details, it's a very pleasant sip.
Eyes open and palate thrilled, I've ordered this Japanese one (also a blend) after reading a shitload of good reviews about it, and reading the characteristics. It arrives probably on Monday:
I can't wait to even nose it.
Whisky, I'm in. I'm all-in.

- Nikka from the Barrel is a fave of mine. Love it. A little dash neat or with an ice cube or two for a chilled whisky. So good.sab
- Both skinny_puppy and thumb_screws turned me on to adding a few drops of water to another wise neat glass. Heavenly.Continuity
- Also, re: Nikka. I totally agree with you sab, this stuff is absolutely wonderful. So glad I ordered it.Continuity

- Fascinating. 4x distillation puts it somewhere near pure alcohol. Then judging by the colour it was matured in ex bourbon casks.skinny_puppy
- Finally it was angel shared / diluted down to 63%. So it's like matured vodka made from peated barley. Must be interesting to tasteskinny_puppy
