Whiskey

For a couple of weeks now I have been taking a glass of whiskey to bed with me, it helps me to sleep and helps to stop me coughing ('orrible cold!!!!) now personally I think the taste of the stuff is foul and I drink it like a medicine, I wondered if the more expensive stuff would be a bit more palatable, I have been drinking cheap blended whiskey, so this morning I bought a bottle of Glenfiddich single malt, it was on offer and I want to try it.
Now the thing is, will I notice any difference? I'm hoping I will as 'orrible cold just refuses to go.

 

I don't like Scotch either, but I don't mind Jamesons Irish whiskey

Get a bag of these too http://www.lloydspharmacy.com/en/ja...aign=Product?gclid=CMfdqf_08sICFYKWtAod_HEA3A

They'll shift it

 

Yes you'll notice a difference Val,it'll warm you through

 

Can't stand the stuff myself but my dad is a bit of an 'expert'. You'll definitely notice the difference

 

What about adding some Ginger wine to the rough stuff, Val, to make a Whisky Mac? They're very warming! On the other hand, we all ought to be recommending that you cut out the booze, eat lots of fresh fruit and veg and get lots of Vitamin C down you It's not very comforting, though, and won't help you sleep Get well soon!

 

I was not a whiskey drinker till last night...Maybe it doesn't go to well with Red wine

 

I put ginger ale in it, goes down a treat then.
Personally I'd not drink it neat, good or bad stuff.

 

My father in-law gave it to me as a christmas present and says take it straight.Water in it spoils it..

 

I agree water ugh.

 

Grape or grain but never the twain

 

I tried for years to drink whiskey , then I realised - I don't like it !

Not heard of a whiskey mac for years , now that would be a lovely warming drink for a nightcap Val
2 parts blended whiskey ( supermarket brand will be fine )
1 part Stones ginger wine

 

Mmm, I love Stones ginger wine, perfect winter drink. I meant to buy some last time I was over in the UK but I forgot and it's not something they sell locally.

 

Glenfiddick is a good one pour it over ice very nice or in a hot toddy although a blended type would be better for a hot toddy.
Hope your cold gets better soon Val

 

Me too, Eve! I tried making some last year but not the most successful experiment ever Back to the drawing board in 2015.....

 

I had a nice Malt last night called Old Pulteney...very nice indeed
