Cinnamon and applejuice go well together, as well.

Please give us the name of what you bought, so we can avoid it in the future?

Dohoho, did actually laugh there.

One of my favourite local pubs has started brewing their own, I tasted their debut golden ale last night when I was there. It was pretty nice, all round. Can't remember what the beer was called, but the pub is called The Wellington Inn.

... whiskey ... [t]hat I paid 20 dollars for ...

Well there's your problem.

 Whisky is worth drinking if it meets two criteria:
1. It is spelled whisky, and is preferably from Scotland.
2. It is produced with enough care to be expensive.

Then again, my Scotch of choice is Laphroaig, so that may well make my opinion moot.

Seconded on that. Laphroaig is tasty stuff - why would liking it affect the opinion of your opinion?

A lot of my Scotch-drinking friends lean more toward milder types, and find the peat and smoke of Laphroaig a bit much--out of the five or six friends who fall into the Scotch-drinking category, only one has liked it without reservation.

While Peat Monster is past my tastes a little bit, I do like a good peaty scotch.
The mild scotches with honey finishes and whatnot? not my thing. In the non-peaty scotches, there is this one I'd like to try again (whose name I did not catch! woe!) that tasted like it had salt water taffy in it.

I get the fuss about Highland Park, but I wish there was more smokiness in it.

I am one of the lucky few, with a friend who likes to share his extensive scotch collection.

If you like peat whiskey I suggest you try some of the Cooley Distillery selection if you haven't already http://www.cooleywhiskey.com/

The cask strength is a real killer.Not sure about international availability though but it's all at a fairly reasonable price .Most of the Irish whiskey that gets exported is a bit weak for my taste.

Hah. Cute loading screen.

You know, I think I've been hearing about this peated irish whiskey (with an 'e') from someone I know. They had many many positive things to say, if it's the same one.

None of the suggestions worked.

However, I FINALLY found something to kill the cinnamon.

Vinegar+Lime Juice.

Unfortunately, it also kills the taste of the whiskey (which ruins the point), and increases the strength of the normal whisky burn.

I think I might have to write this off.

Edit:
Erghh... stomach... not feeling... so good...

Try mixing milk in with that combination.

I should warn you, if you're desperate enough to have considered that without thinking it through, this is the worst advice I've ever given anyone, and I've linked somebody to goatse before. To be fair to myself, I thought it was pretty clear that they weren't supposed to click the link given the context, but they'd never heard of it before and I guess I wasn't as obvious as I thought. >__________>

Protip: Don't do that. Have you tried honey and lemon juice?

Try drinking (sipping!!) it out of a cup like this:



...with a big ol' ice-cube in the middle of the cup. Works for a lot of strong flavoured drinks.

Look, it's a 20$ bourbon. Either drink it all at once to forget your sorrows or wash it down the drain.

Wearin' my cuban shirt, smokin' a fat cuban, drinkin' a triple Bruichladdich An Turas Mor, and my girlfriend is cleaning the kitchen...

Life's awesome.
