since i didnt manage to get japanese whisky like yamazaki or hibiki...i end up getting this instead.

For those who have tested, what are the difference comparing this blue label johnie walker with hibiki/yamazaki?

both also good

u mean both hibiki and yamazaki?

what about blue label?

i bought for my dad..so dont want to disappoint him...if it's bad..then i give my fren better.. hahaa...

ka chat mei is less in this one.

wat's kachatmei?

ayam no speaking thai yo!

Blue Label - Islay Whiskey (got smokey taste but to some people it reminds them of cockroach smell)
Hibiki - Highland Whisky

see #4... blue label gooding
katzaimei = one very unpleasant odour found in whiskey... smell like cockroach

I will go for Yamazaki which is a single malt whisky. The rest are blended whisky...

wtf..cockroach taste..ok..that's sading riao....

now going google find out diff between islay/highland whisky..

blue label has a floral, oaky, , highland style smoke finish which ppl here refer to as cockroach smell

tanks....now i get it riao...damn hate cockroach yo!





ayam nub in whisky..only know how to buy blindly.. lol....

The best source of information is you taste both and you'll immediately taste the difference, unless you have a dead palate.
I'd rather buy a bottle of Famous Grouse than an overrated blue label.

it is the thought that counts.

ppl have personal preferences on malts like cars. some ppl like different flavours not neccesarily exp.

i think i have that..dead palate....never could differentiate their taste....remember vividly last time when we have 3 types of chivas; 12, 18 and royal salute...take a sip on each..all taste the same to me, lol...

hmm..not sure about overrated, but i readed someone once said famous grouse are cheap whisky or something... but i guess each their own then.. aint gonna judge on something i dunno or dont take...






thanks for the comforting words..then will jst proceed to give then..

i guess it's kinda like wine then...there's no best wine..jst one that suits u..

JW Blue Label 18yo whisky

Hibiki/Yamazaki is Jap whisky but their 12YO is comparable or better in terms of taste. But then hard to find now.

Still its a good whisky in itself. Like other /k says, seldom you will find cockroach smell in an 18YO

TUMPANG

how about cordon bleu? havent tested it before and the last chance to taste flew due to need drive

yup..i asked few local liquor store and 2 shops in airport also couldnt find hibiki/yamazaki..that's when i decided to try something else....

thanks mang..

if it's jiken cordon bleu..then yes..my fav.. sekian

Very smooth on the throat. I'll choose it over most 18 years whiskies although generally, I'm more of a whisky lover!

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...

all these information...like so complicated..now i know why i prefer tits...

but good info nonetheless yo!

Actually the "cockroach" sensation is due to condensation of peat aroma when your dram is diluted and/or being cooled down too much. Start off with mildy peated malts first, then slowly move on to heavier ones. You will be surprised what age can do to peat, oxidizing it and evolving it to other compound(s)...

fuark!! i missed my chance

i should have a sip when given the chance

wasted on a bunch of drunk kaki that dont know how to enjoy it

not jiken cordon bleu with jeez la.. but i know ampang there ada 1 jiken cordon bleu quite gooding

Whisky has a very distinctive taste to each and everyone.
Some might find johnny walker tasted like tina water ,some might find it absolutely good.
I personally tried a few such as chivas, martinney, johnny walker and Macallan..
My personal favorite is Macallan 18, still have one bottle kept for special ocassion.
Only opened one bottle before as its freaking expensive.

Cordon Bleu is actually Cognac, distilled ex grapes. Unlike Whisky ex grains...

this ^

ayam no understand

You mean milk??? Oh yes, count me in, hahaha...

seems like whisky/cognac/brandy drinking is as complicated as wine and cigar....
oh well, one learns new things everyday..





ampang so big....got details or not?

kahlua? bailey?

eh wait.those are coffee..ohwaii

generally japanese whisky have a bit fruity smell. personally gua prefer nikka by the barrel.

blue is good
but since u got so much dough, go for dalmore 18 as a replacement to yamazaki.

all are good whisky...

i think blue label is smoother than the japs.
the japs particularly hibiki has a distinct taste. just had hibiki 17 years last night.
yamazaki smells like typical chivas but its smooth.

Chivas tasted like siht.

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

time to play this hi-keras-stuff already

alternative of ampang look out point after it close?

this hint is quite... obvious

but not for yamazaki... i really like the smoothness...

i saw nikka..and the first thing came to my mind is that if i come into /k and share nikka whisky..prolly gonna kena bora2 due to racism nature.. lol
they are selling around 5k yen in those mini market...i think pretty cheap considering it's around RM200 only...too bad i didnt know where it stand so didnt buy...




already balik liao..so no more buy d..only bought those at airport..i wonder after tax is how much tho..





okie dokie..thanks for the vote of confidence yo!
gonna give my dad this weekend when i drop by his place..

i found that chivas is way better than beer & wine

ayam beer guy all the way..

or maybe more on ale..

i like Lagavulin though... so smooth

damn! Rm200 for a good liquor is darm worth it!

perhaps langkawi able to find similar ones?

if your dad dont like it... remember to pm me...

me since almost mabuk + vomit few times on beer.... ayam iz physically (or mentally) tabuli accept beer that much...

slowly changed to very hi-keras beer / wine + some chivas/whisky

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

Macallan all the way ~
Chivas got one fking distinctive taste which I couldn't comprehend.

ayam poorfag... only able to taste those once in a blue moon / during special dinner...

Whole thread full of bullshit except this guy

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"

no good becos they already campur too much with watermark

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.

Port ellen no love? They're pretty close by u knows.. Lol

Never try that before... the price is about the same too?

Should be, imo lagavulin is pretty ucommon find... Even more are the distillers editions. Very good choice...

Labuan rm135 only

It seems there is so much thing to learn from drinking a liquor haha...

Isnt cordon bleu ...Brandy ?

Btw, i have a few Black lables... Wic is sleeping, where can i sell this ah ?

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

Yamazaki is Single Malt.
Blue Label is Blended.

that’s my trademark..kenot run one..





u mean the nikka? Good to know at least can buy here…




meaning ayam kena tipu liao? Coz the blue label in airport ayam bought RM800+….

do u really have to watermark that pic?

JW Blue if got jalan can get about RM500 for it (I used to stock a whole carton of it during CNY)
But generally people don't really compare Blended to Single Malt, both have their own distinguish taste.

yes...many robin hood in /k...

u wait u upload drillz in /k then kena robin hood u will know how it felt d..

i kena twice btw.....so much about posting drillz without watermark.. pui!

then i guess for ppl without jalan is considered ok then..

ayam dunno much about whisky brandy cognac...only know it burns the throat and can use it to start fire during emergency..

Fuyoo... This thread here at /k stronger than many other official Yam Seng ones, kudos and kipidab!!!

well..i know what i should do with my blue label liao...

so tered kolos... sekian everyone punya contribusasi..
