English Whisky Have You Tired It?

Seen a few bottles of English whisky for sale not cheap but looked ok. Is their any difference in taste or is it the same as Scottish whisky?

I've tried English whisky. I bought some online a couple of years ago because I was just curious to try it and intrigued by the concept "English" whisky. It was quite expensive, but it was nowt special - to me it tasted like any bog-standard blended whisky that you can buy in any supermarket or off-licence - perfectly pleasant, but indistinguishable from the more common whiskies that you can buy at half the price anywhere. I've also tried Welsh whisky, Japanese whisky... and even Swedish whisky - none of which I found to be particularly outstanding.

 

I'll try any kind of whisky....I love the stuff! I like most of the Irish whiskies I've tried, but I don't think that there's anything that can really touch the Scottish single malts. My favourites are the Talisker and the Longmorn.

I think I will save my money, you can't beat a good single malt whisky.

Totally agree with you crookedspire. There are so many Scotch single malts to try. I've tried dozens...maybe hundreds of em and I can honestly say that I've never once come across a single malt Scotch that I didn't like. I tend to prefer the darker, heavier, smokier varieties to the lighter, fruitier varieties, but they are all pretty nice!
