Interesting stuff!

Yamazaki malt whisky.

Leans more towards an Irish flavour, bit like Bushmills. Kind of fruity, citrus flavour. Smooth though, and good with ice. A little OTT with no ice, unlike a good malt Scotch, but a nice drink all the same!

tried Manx whisky once too. Water clear and ridiculously fierce. Like drinking paint thinners!

Tried Thai whisky once in a Vietnamese restaurant in Adelaide. The place was deserted and me and a colleague were the only ones in there. The owner, a Vietnamese with a row of symbols tattoed up his wrist brought the bottle, and sat down with us, pouring a round of shots every time we finished the last. The tattoo was something to do with the war, but he wasn't too keen to talk about it. I figure he was Vietcong. Interesting man to talk to though. The whisky was firewater, but it seemed offensive to not drink with him

Oh yeah... chinese whisky... Got a photo somewhere. The bottle contained a snake

Anyone else got any other whisky recommendations, based partially at least on weirdness?

I got a bottle of finest Stolichnaya Russian Vodka. Remember only vodka from Russia is Genuine Russian Vodka. Bit Pirated on it, truth to tell...

Had some Chinese whiskey once, with a lizard in the bottle, it looked too big to come out of the neck due to the body being bloated/swollen with the alchohol ( the drunken conversation was going along these lines) I said it wouldn't come out, and somebody else said it would, and the bet was on.

I said "if you can get that lizard out of the bottle without breaking it ( the bottle) I'll eat the reptile"

Suffice to say that was the first and last time I ever ate lizard, or ever made a drunken bet!

Oh, BTW the whiskey was also "firewater"

Hi Rob. Hope you had a good Christmas mate!

Oh, so they do it with lizards too then!

The one I had was called Cobra Whisky because, yes, you guessed it, there's a Cobra in the bottle! Never mess with the Chinese, they's mad as a sack of Badgers!

Hey Andy, you'd best not drink that Scotch mate. Doesn't sound right. Bring it up here and I'll check it for you first.

Hi Andy, quiet xmas, I think the chinese use it to get rid of there vermin, probably do a rat brandy, sqirrell sherry too, or maybe it counts as a packed lunch for the farm workers out there

You are NOT making me into a sherry

[dieselboy]

these whiskeys with snakes or lizzards in them, are the animals dead? or are they looking back at you or what.

i suppose they are dead once they been in there a while, do they go in live then?
what do they actually do in there? whats supposed to happen?

[Bogus]

They probably go in alive, if the Chinese could find a way of being cruel to vegetables they would do it.

Hi, I got a bottle of Monkey's Shoulder whisky, no, it's not got a monkey's shoulder in it but it tastes delicious. It's a blend of 3 Speyside malts. It got it's name from when the men would shovel the grain to make the malt.
