Two is my limit!?

Sir Brian:
That's ironic because I always remember that is also one of my rules the morning after!  :D

Sir William:
The morning after, of course...

I don't drink when I'm in armor usually, beyond the occasional mead or ale, but when I am drinking, I prefer Johnnie Walker Black, a scotch blend for those that aren't familiar.  Tried the single malts, not quite my thing but I can drink'm; unlike bourbon or whiskey which I cannot.

Sir Brian:
Johnnie Walker Black eh? I'm not sure if I tried that or not in recent years, unless of course Sir Andrew has been putting it in his flask then I'd say yes...One of these days he's going to get me good and have it loaded with some ungodly concoction with the same octane level of jet fuel.  :D

Sir William:
It's a smooth blend; some of the other blends, like Dewars or Chivas Regal are a touch too harsh on the backend for my taste.  To drink singlemalt, it seems like you need to take a course on it first...all this talk about oak back, peaty start or coal finish or whatever...just give me a drink, man!  LOL

I was in Rip's, talking with the owner/manager (of the liquor store part anyway) and he talked me into getting a bottle of McLellan singlemalt, 12 year old.  It was ok...and actually cheaper than my usual JWB but it had a bite to it that I don't care for.  Guess I could try some of the others, have had Glenfiddich before and it was awful (to me, but then, it was 10 years ago in a Scotch bar, maybe they watered it down, I dunno), Glenlivet I do not remember; MacAllan...don't remember how that tastes either.

A couple years ago I ran into a few Scotsmen at the MDRF, one of them had a delightful coffee/tequila concoction in his flask that he shared w/me and the wife...that was Patron XO; really good stuff.  Sir Brian, you might want to give it a try in lieu of the Irish whiskey, it'll be smoother no doubt.  Really coffee-ish too I'd guess; we were at Guapo's one evening and the manager there created an after-dinner coffee that I'm sure featured Patron XO and it was delish!

Dragonlover:
Shame on you, Sir Brian, and shame on you, Paladin, for even suggesting we stray from our beloved singlemalts! Lol! Actually, what you're tasting in the Glenfiddich is the peat smoke they use in the barrels. I have to really be in the mood for a sip of it here or there. Sir Brian and I usually partake of Glenmorangie or Glengoyne, of which Sir Brian purchased us an excellent bottle of 17 year that went down smooth as silk. Usually we partake of Crown Royal and an even more recent discovery, Crown Royal Black Label....ahhh..... :D
