Cubic stones you store in the freezer. Refreshes the scotch without adding water. But cold also dulls the taste of the sotch, makes it less volatile.

Round ice cubes? My friend has some molds that make Death Star scotch cubes.

Then Crown XR is the one for you if you have not tried it! Also, whiskey stones. Get them.

I am curious, but dubious. I've been told Canadian whiskeys are rather mild. I prefere the comlex and robust whiskeys. Peat, smoke, oak, leather, tabacco flavors are for me, more than fruit or honey.

Plus on the site they say they use the water around the island of Montréal. A very bad. I live on the island and the water is polluted as heck.

But thanks, I might try a Canadian whiskey to judge for myself.

Why had ice to a liquid that is already perfect?

i think there is some round ice cube theory regarding even melting/cooling...but then again I am not a scotch drinker. So German Riesling?

Kraken is a nice dark rum.

Also have been enjoying:

Wild Turkey American Honey

Bärenjäger

Buffalo Trace

Navan Vanilla cognac*

Lindemanns Belgian Lambic beers (Cherry is my fave)

Chimay

Shiner (many different favors)






* A word about the Navan: its the best vanilla cognac I've ever had, but Gran Marnier- the makers- stopped producing it. So if you can find it, it will probsbly be expensive.

I wouldn't be surprised, but ice/water kills the taste. It is more for those who like smoother taste.

Is it that surprising? We have a great one Québec (last one).

Chimey is indeed very good. I'll try some shiner. Thanks!

Been a big fan of Rieslings for decades now, but up until recently, hadn't found any I liked that were not German.

However, I have found that many Rieslings out of Washington state have been damn good. Not quite good enough to make me forget the Germans, but definitely worth buying.

Actually, a lot of drinkers of good single malts add a few drops to bring out the aroma and flavour. If you're drinking cask strength, it's practically a must.
