Coffee one is called Sheridans la..

For whisky, I always prefer single malt as its more consistent in its flavor.

More of an old school, so I prefer more peaty whisky..laphoraig or ardbeg comes to mind

Johnnie Walker is not an Islay whisky. It is blended (malts and grains) with possibly malt from Islay... And not all Islay malt is smoky/peaty/etc. There are Island, Campbeltown and some Highland ones which are to as well...

Hibiki is also blended, but made out of malts from Yamazaki and Hakushu. And no, they are not categorized as Highland. Take note, some Hakushu's are smoky/peaty/etc too...

Whole thread full of bullshit except this guy whistling.gif

If you don't like cockroach smell avoid whiskeys described as 'peaty'.

Try comparing blended with single malts, no need mess with single malts unless you really can taste the difference.

Drinking is no big deal, if a simple 5yo Australian red or standard blended scotch makes you happy, stick with it. Or you will only shout your ignorance eg "kahlua and Bailey's is not coffee liqueur, Sheridan's is" doh.gif doh.gif

which means cordon bleu is from fruits & nuts while whisky from wheat/grains?  hmm.gif

time to play this hi-keras-stuff already  thumbup.gif

People usually compare Cordon Bleu so XO's.
It used to be my most favourate cognac of all time (yes, I drank most of the XO before), then one day, I went to Hong kong and tasted richard hennessy. Still regretted that I just drank a glass of thousand dollar cognac without properly tasted it.

Anyway, Whisky (blended). Would prefer Royal Salute 21 over JW Blue. Honestly Hibiki (21) taste batter than JW Blue. But given that price range since you mention JW Blue and Hibiki, my tasted buds are more towards Royal Salute 21. laugh.gif

once u get to know the better single malts, blue label/gold/black, chivas .. is all nothing.
dalmore 18 is probably 850-900 nowadays.
others like ardbeg 10/uigeadail, springbank, balvenie, macallan, ichiro's malt, damn.. .HNNNNNNGHHHHHHHH
