Favourite Christmas tipple?

[ReganAndCarter]

As with my single malts I tend to use ice stones instead of ice. That way it doesn't get diluted and ruined.

Never heard of those. Sounds like a great idea, as I don't like diluted whisky.

There are only 5 whisky's to bother yourself with & my favourite is Laphroiag.

Laphroiag is wonderful, but cask strength is an acquired but addictive taste...

Has anybody heard of "Hennessy"

I bought a bottle as a Christmas present and it was about £80

Has anybody heard of "Hennessy". It's popular in American hip hop and rap circles
apparently
I think Laphroiag is about £70/£80 per bottle isn't it as I bought a bottle as a Christmas present for a conossoir a few Christmases ago

£30 to £11,000 a bottle.

I'd need to neck several of the £30 ones to buy a bottle of whisky at £11k !

£30 to £11,000 a bottle. I'd need to neck several of the £30 ones to buy a bottle of whisky at £11k !

So what would cost between £5k and £11k?

 

[Brigade77]

Cripes!! So what would cost between £5k and £11k in terms of how old would it be? That's a lot of money! Imagine if you'd have bought that ages ago and it had matured in age and quality that would make it a good investment

You can easily Google what whisky costs what . . . & why, you don't need me.

I don't like Turkey & I have never liked Turkey on my plate. Not even for the main event that you folks call Christmas.

I much prefer a succulent Lamb.

I have absolutely no preference as to what temperature you should roast your Turkey. Try asking someone with similar a preferences to yourself, if you can find someone who gives a damn !

So there's quite a range of types and prices but the most notable thing I found of interest was The Macallan 1926 60-year-old single malt from cask number 263 had been expected to sell for up to £450,000, but went under the hammer for £1.45 million on Oct 24, 2019 - The most expensive bottle of whisky ever

Baileys has got me through many a Christmas morning undoing hundreds of those bloody wire ties they love to clamp toys in with!.

In light of today, it's strychnine with a hemlock chaser.
