I'm currently drunk on something i've no idea how to pronounce.
please to provide pronunciation for "Glenmorangie"
also, as my bottle is now empty, please to provide recommendations on my next bottle of Scotch Whiskey.....
:D
a thousand thanks from a drunken Yank.
"Glen-More-An-Gie"
Also I suggest Laphroaig Quarter Cask, it should be a little more expensive than Glenmorangie (in the UK its usually around £20 for the former and £33 for the latter) but the difference in quality is noticeable, plus it's an Islay distillery, and I generally recommend Islay scotch whisky.
On the other hand, if you have money to burn, the older, 25+ year old Glen Grant single malts are as smooth as hell. You pay through the nose for them, but they're oh so very worth it.
Thx, Cain.
I'll give that one a go...
I was also about to suggest Laphroaig or Ardbeg before noticing that Cain had beat me to it.
Seriously,
Islay whisky > everything else
If it doesn't taste like smoke, then it's not worth the money. I usually drink Laphroaig 10 year old and the 15 year old when I can afford it (rarely).
Why can't you Scots use real English when you name things?
its the Gaelic they used to speak before they were opressed into speaking english (or waht passes for it anyway :P)
Bushmills is the best scotch, followed by Seagrams 7.

Why did England want Scotland, anyway? You can't grow shit, and it's full of Scotsmen.
We have Bowmore at work right now. It's an Islay whisky. I also had to correct GS on how to say Islay. It's EYE-LAH not IS-LAY.
Ok, hold on for a minute while I write these all down.
I'll second (third? fourth?) the Laphroaig recommendation.
Damn, I haven't had that in a long time, and I can still taste the peat-charcoal.
Is there a thread around here anywhere for (good) liquor suggestions?

Wow, you got me so good, Regret.
And, I bet that was easier than saying "Maybe..."

have you got a death wish, do you hate the Scots or is your geography really shite :lol:
. . . death by deep fried Mars bar or being stuffed with haggis is reputed to be really nasty, you know . . .
my geography is awesome, but 2 outta 3 ain't bad.

I will raise a glass to you, then, good sir, though I refuse to be drawn on what it contains . . .
Balvenie Portwood.
The scotch is aged 21 years in barrels that originally stored port.
'Tis a thing of beauty, I tell you.
Sure, about $140 a bottle, but it's worth it.

how big of a bottle?
Standard size for booze... 750ml, or something like that.

Cause if they weren't occupying the Scots the Scots might have occupied them.
the Scots could never conquer England until they have first dealt with their traditional mortal enemy, the Scots.

I also heard emphasis was on the MOR part?

The Balvenie Doublewood is my newfound casual drinking scotch. I'll have to try this one out if I ever have the cash.

oh....
I was assuming it was on the AN...
also, to clarify, Cain... the GIE is pronounced like 'guy'? not 'gee' or 'jee'?

I still can't figure out if the ICH in Glenfiddich is prounounced 'ick' or 'itch' or if the ET in Glenlivet is a hard T as in 'bet' or if it's just not prounced, like an 'eh'.

ive always said 'itch' and 'et', and never had any disdainful looks, but then, i've never been to Scottland...
I believe it's pronounced "Glen-fid-dick".
Glenfiddich is pronounced with a Scottish "CH", like how we do with Loch - a K, softened slightly and pronounced from the back of the mouth and tongue and drawn out slightly longer.
The T in Glenlivet is hard.
Glenmorangie is pronounced Glen-Moran-Jee.
That is ALL spags.
You're lucky I don't come over there and do Scottish things to you with a broken whiskey bottle.

being a southern english gal, i may, unfortunately, not pronounce the hard T and the end of Glenlivet.
I'm sorry, Payne.
