Sounds the same as me. It was gradual though. I first noticed when cleaning up after the dog, the **** didn't smell so bad! I also saw an ENT specialist who sent me for a MRI which proved nowt. The only suggestion was some sort of virus. After about a year it was almost gone. Interesting about the malts, guess I need to try harder lol

I have requested a bottle of Nikka for my birthday next weekend. Will let you know what it’s like.I had one in one of those sample boxes with whiskeys from all over. I remember it being noticeably different in a good way, smooth and not peaty. Reminded me of sake although I bet if I didn't already know it was Japanese it wouldn't have occurred to me
There was a French one in there too, very sweet. Not unpleasant to drink but not what I want in a whiskey. Dunno if that's how the French like it or if it was unusual.
Yes a great reply. Very good.You will enjoy it mate. If not, just pop it in the post
Got absolutely ****ed on Glenfiddich on my mate's 18th birthday. Threw up all the way home, was ill for days. Haven't been able to abide even the smell of the stuff since. 29 years later!
I wish I could, because a couple of the lads I go to the match with love a single malt. My Dad is partial to them too

My wife has a summer cold so I suggested a whisky and ginger to help her cope with the suffering. Now I am not a whisky drinker by any means, I prefer a glass of red wine, but do I love a glass of Irish Whiskey, especially Tullamore Dew, no burn, the after taste is stunning and to top it all it doesn’t give me a hangover.
So being the loving husband I went out and bought a bottle for her
that’s my drink sorted for tonight
And it’s got a great advert

The wife surprised me coming back from the weekly grocery shop with a bottle of Cardhu for me. One of my favourites. Beautiful. I knew I’d married her for a reason !

I'm not a fan of mixers with whisky but it does go great with ginger beer, especially in the winter to warm you up. Ideally Crabbie's alcoholic ginger beer, the more booze the merrier.
The ginger is for the wife Nacho, I'm not a whisky drinker and only drink Irish whiskey but wouldn't dream of spoiling it by adding anything
If your gonna do it. It should be done with crabbies ginger wine. Beautiful!
My father in law and I drank near enough 3 bottles over 3 nights last weekend. He really got stuck in but I wasnt far behind. Was planning a week or two off the booze, but have cracked tonight. Couple of bottles of Jaipur, now into the last 3rd of a bottle of Glenfarclas. My wife is frowning at me, my lads are joining me.
Aye I wouldn't use a mixer with anything good just the usual blended stuff like Grants. Even then very rarely I like the burn as it goes down neat.
Irish whisky is very nice btw.
I'm far and away from being anything near a connoisseur, but I do like most of the single malts I've tried.
I got a bottle of Laphroaig for Xmas last year, didn't dislike it but a bit more burn than I'd ideally like. The only reason I chose it when asked was because I remembered it smelling like nowt I've ever experienced when I used to go through the bottles on the bar when I worked in the three tuns hotel in Durham as an 19 yr old.
I went through a spell of drinking Black Grouse for a while which I really enjoyed, although I know it's blended so some will think it's automatically rubbish, but I thought it was nice. Not had it for years now. Saying that, when I was in Scotland drinking in a hotel that had some ludicrously expensive single malts, the barman was saying some if the blended whiskies are tremendous and the single malt thing is a bit overstated.
So, to the real experts...give me a recommendation for the smoothest single malt, little to no throat burn, and I'll get a bottle.

Sounds great I'll give it a go around Christmas. Beats ginger beer for strength so I'm all for it.
First sip....swill it around your mouth a bit before swallowing. This can help reduce the throat burn you are getting.
Tullamore Dew is a blended Irish Whiskey, it's very smooth and has no initial burn just a gentle warmth, the aftertaste is really nice, honey/vanilla/fruity. Well worth a try for cowards like me who can't drink the malts and blends of Scotland.
I bought my son in law a bottle of Laphroaig for his birthday and he let me try a small glass, it was the most disgusting taste I have experienced, like eating peat that a donkey has **** on (just my opinion) so I am not a whisky drinker/expert at all but I know what I like.
The first single malt I tried was Jura while on a night out. Lovely! I’ve tried to find it since and got a bottle of Jura Journey which wasn’t that impressive.
Glenfiddich’s a nice one for me. On Auchentoshan at the moment which I think is canny.
Loads of good tips on here - ones I have heard of and always fancied trying.

Just ordered a 10 year old Ardbeg which worryingly arrives Monday
Just had a knock on the door. An unexpected delivery. An 18 year old Glenrothes 
A thank you from my 80 something year old father in law. I provided a lovely selection for a recent weekend, which he enjoyed in quantity A small note just saying "Thanks, great whisky, ok company" and I knew who it was from .
Now my challenge, is do I have a taste on a Tuesday? What say you?
