Indeed, but they were good vodkas before the wankers came along and they'll still be good vodkas after they've all fucked off.

I've still got some Koskenkorva 60% that I should get in the freezer. Potent stuff is that.

I came home from Jerusalem with one and a half litres of Kosher 95. It was so volatile that the evaporation chilled your palate and tongue. What taste it had was bloody disgusting.

Yeah, my dad recently fixed a PC issue for a guy he knows, just asked for a nice bottle of whisky in return. Received a small bottle of Jack Daniels.

Deary, deary me. We're going to have to specify in future, which rather undermines our intended friendly exchange vibe.

This is spot on, years ago even ended up at a work colleagues house fixing their PC till gone 10pm on a friday night with just a, thanks Al, I'll get you a few beers. (Beers never turned up, nd any way I'd rather have £30/40 quid for my 5hrs work)

Any suggestions for a decent (ish) bottle of whisky for my grandfather's 80th? Funnily enough the only person who's ever given me anything for working on his computer.

Laphroaig, or possibly as an alternative, Laphroaig.

Do you know if he likes peaty ones (like Laphroaig) or not? As if he doesn't, that one's a bit beefy. Balvenie is a safer bet perhaps, I like that lots too.

I'm not a spirits fan, and as such am undoubtedly biased, but I've tried vodka and whiskys (whiskies?!) in the past and have only had an overriding feeling of heat and not much taste. Does one become accustomed to the taste eventually and can pick out nuances? I understand how people can do it with wine as it's gentler on the palate (well, red wine anyway), but never quite got spirits as they all taste acerbic and feel caustic.
I do like brandy though.
