Whiskey Sees Lockdown Boom As Rich Hit The Bottle

Alcohol sales are up, but rare and collectable whiskey seems a little too niche. Are things really that bad among the rich?

Two things about this article:
1) It refers extensively to Scotch's -- yet also spells the distillate as 'whiskey'. As an avid consumer of the Irish elixir, this is clearly an error of the highest degree!
2) One doesn't need to be wealthy to enjoy a fine whiskey -- one needs only to appreciate it!

I agree, you need not to be rich to enjoy an excellent whiskey.You just need to be able to appreciate and enjoy it , when you drink it.

Last night we had a friend over for foreign Whisky sipping. We maintained safety distancing. We were surprised at how many foreign Whiskys came out of the Liqour Cabinent. 5 from Tasmania. We were just there for half of February. 2 from Wales. 2 from Ireland. 4 from Scotland. We left 2 Irish Whiskys in the Cabinent. 1 is no longer made and there is only enough left for 1 person. The other is only sold at the Jameson Distillery. So difficult to replace.

Right on.

There are special whiskey for only special friend IMHO.

Makai Guy.
I am a Type II diabetic.
Is that a true statement that whiskey has no carb ?

 

[geist1223]

It is also Vegan Approved.

 

[pedro47]

Makai Guy, you were correct zero carbs.
Thanks

You are correct. Thanks

I knew this because for about 5 years Son #2 was a strict Vegan. But we were able to drink whisky together.

Scotch--for when you feel like drinking burned grass! Yummers!

Give me a fine bourbon over scotch any day.

This thread has been an eye opener for me. Thanks

'Tis an acquired taste to be sure. I had a college room mate that drank scotch and I always said I'd rather just drink vodka and suck on a charcoal briquet. But in later years I have learned to appreciate scotch more than bourbon, much to my surprise. But what I really like is a nice Irish whiskey.

In response to your comment, Amycurl, it is true that some Scotch's can be very peaty (of which I am not a fan) -- but that is typically found in the lowland brands; the highland brands are typically much less peaty and therefore much smoother (although they still do have a hint of peat).

Further to Maikai Guy's comment -- Yes, I will choose an Irish whiskey over a Scotch any day as well (although I will never refuse a wee dram of either!).

Only a few of the Whiskys from Scotland have a peat taste.

Most Irish Whiskys use peat to cook their grain but do it in away that the smoke does not get to the grain.

Most Irish Whisky is triple distilled. Most Whiskys from Scotland are double distilled but some are triple distilled. Most Bourbons are single distilled.
