QUOTE(max_cjs0101 @ Mar 14 2016, 05:08 PM) The best source of information is you taste both and you'll immediately taste the difference, unless you have a dead palate. 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...I'd rather buy a bottle of Famous Grouse than an overrated blue label. 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...  QUOTE(DarkAeon @ Mar 14 2016, 05:10 PM) it is the thought that counts. thanks for the comforting words..then will jst proceed to give then.. ppl have personal preferences on malts like cars. some ppl like different flavours not neccesarily exp. i guess it's kinda like wine then...there's no best wine..jst one that suits u..  |

QUOTE(XcappuccinoX @ Mar 14 2016, 05:19 PM) JW Blue Label 18yo whisky 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....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 thanks mang.. |

QUOTE(KittyKat @ Mar 14 2016, 05:29 PM) 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... all these information...like so complicated..now i know why i prefer tits...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... but good info nonetheless yo! |

QUOTE(KittyKat @ Mar 14 2016, 05:32 PM) 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)... seems like whisky/cognac/brandy drinking is as complicated as wine and cigar....  oh well, one learns new things everyday.. QUOTE(silverfoxxy @ Mar 14 2016, 05:32 PM) not jiken cordon bleu with jeez la.. ampang so big....got details or not? but i know ampang there ada 1 jiken cordon bleu quite gooding |

QUOTE(kaizoku30 @ Mar 14 2016, 05:36 PM) generally japanese whisky have a bit fruity smell. personally gua prefer nikka by the barrel. 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.. lolthey 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... QUOTE(teehk_tee @ Mar 14 2016, 05:36 PM) blue is good already balik liao..so no more buy d..only bought those at airport..i wonder after tax is how much tho.. but since u got so much dough, go for dalmore 18 as a replacement to yamazaki.  QUOTE(Wassupman @ Mar 14 2016, 05:36 PM) all are good whisky... okie dokie..thanks for the vote of confidence yo!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. gonna give my dad this weekend when i drop by his place.. |

QUOTE(kaizoku30 @ Mar 14 2016, 10:08 PM) Labuan rm135 only u mean the nikka? Good to know at least can buy here… QUOTE(teehk_tee @ Mar 14 2016, 11:39 PM) once u get to know the better single malts, blue label/gold/black, chivas .. is all nothing. meaning ayam kena tipu liao? Coz the blue label in airport ayam bought RM800+…. dalmore 18 is probably 850-900 nowadays. others like ardbeg 10/uigeadail, springbank, balvenie, macallan, ichiro's malt, damn.. .HNNNNNNGHHHHHHHH |

QUOTE(AceKendy @ Mar 15 2016, 10:19 AM) JW Blue if got jalan can get about RM500 for it (I used to stock a whole carton of it during CNY) then i guess for ppl without jalan is considered ok then.. But generally people don't really compare Blended to Single Malt, both have their own distinguish taste. ayam dunno much about whisky brandy cognac...only know it burns the throat and can use it to start fire during emergency.. |
