I haven't seen a compelling reason to do so.

No, that's not the reason.

Actually, I spend more than that a bottle, to drink something I enjoy.

Bob. There's this key on your keyboard marked "shift". Learn to use it. Also your . key seems to stick.

Hi Dave,

I didn't see his original post, as I have "k" and "f" keys on my keyboard and know how to use them. ;-))

Slainte!

Heh...in my case it's control-k but yeah. This guy just wander in, or did it just nym-shift?

LMAO There was one NG I was on, where I had 15 nyms in my kf. They all turned out to be the same person!

I love C2H5OH. I have a dozen SMS's, a few blends, a Jameson, a couple of Bourbons, Rum, Gin, Vodka, Moonshine and Mezcal, plus some Italian red wines. They all get used regularly, according to mood, etc. I have to go easy on the beer, because I have diabetes, but a Guinness Stout is a good wash for the Jameson's! I've been drinking the equivalent of a pint of 40% abv per day for ove 50 years.

actually i have acouple k&b, 7yr old whisky. n a large bottle of early times. n all those BV reserves. n acouple brandys. n will buy acouple more bradys. n keep my eye open for anything thats under priced...a $53bottle going for $42. or a $42bottle i think should be $50. or a $12bottle going for $9...lol That last example very close to the bv price... but i suspect bv would be more where you are. So you spend over $50 abottle.You must have a big ego. LOL.

You don't get it. Drink what you're happy with. Right now, I'm happy with a Balvenie "New wood".

Oh, there's laughing involved, but you just don't get it.

yes dave. like i said. n i'm very happy with 8yr old canadian whisky for $10!!!!!!! Black Velvet, RESERVE!!!! i figure it must be under priced..... i know its a blend but still.....

Both those positions are valid, I think. Yes, you have to follow your own tastes. And yes, you learn things here. Most of my current tastes were developed on the basis of advice I got here.

cheers.

He's been here for some weeks, maybe a month or two. He hasn't done anything but babble about Black Velvet, and I've just kill-filed him. He has nothing worthwhile to say, and is not interested in learning anything.

i just had a brain storm..i put a bottle of bv reserve by each tv..a suttle way to let people know that come in my house...i've made it..i'm a success..i'm drinking the best.or at least above average hooch.lol not drinking ''ever clear'' like most of you.lol that is close to gasoline.i think. My bv RESERVE shows people i know the best n i buy it. maybe 1 day you all will see what i mean...

One wonders if he's employed by the distillery, but I think a distillery shill would actually be rather more competent. There's nothing wrong with drinking what he likes, but I don't see what he hopes to gain by evangelizing it on a daily basis.

Trying to get back on topic, I had a bit of the Glenmorangie Portwood at a friend's house the other day, and I found it sadly disappointing. I would describe it has harsh and simple. Having liked both the Bowmore Dawn and the Balvenie Doublewood, I was all excited about port/sherry finishes, but I guess they're not all a win.

i just answer other posters..is that ok??? i'm just saying i think its a great whisky at a great price....and yes theres better at double or more the price i'm paying.... n ill buy others but not while i can get this at the price i'm getting it at. if any1 here had brains they suggest others at say just under $30. so ill have some ideas when i buy acouple bottles thats alil better....or even just under $40.

Quite right. Black Velvet is produced by Barton Brands, which markets

185 brands of alcoholic beverages. They can afford much more, uh, literate help.

He's just a sad Usenet troll. He has ignored a number of invitations to join the conversation in a civil manner. I don't know for sure whether he's what he appears to be, or pretending for his own amusement. But I have no more time for him.

Definitely not. I tried a Glenmorangie sherry finish years ago and didn't like it at all. Bowmores are fine and I like the Balvenie Doublewood.

If you want a screaming sherry experience that does for sherry what a young Ardbeg or Lagavulin does for peat, try the Aberlour a'bunadh. I find the regular Aberlour 10 to be fairly pedestrian, but this one's cask strength and a breathtaking experience. The distillery recommends it as an after-dinner drink and I concur.
