100 Pipers single malt - any good + whiskey in general.

**Ken May** · 15-01-2006, 09:18 PM

The new Piper's whisky is aged 8 years, so it is supposed to be mellowed from the generic swill that is younger. Why bother? For that matter why bother with the Johny Walker blends either? It is worth spending a few extra bahet a single malt with some age on it - and at leasy a hint of smokey peat flavour.

You have to take into account that I am german. (Hehe, that's a nice excuse for a lot of defects.)

I agree with you Ken May - I'll hunt around for some single malt stuff.....they don't seem to do it in Tops but not too surprised there.

What's the Kloster beer like, is it better or worse than Heinekin?

**Fabian** · 16-01-2006, 01:18 AM

colourful-era, Kloster beer is probably is the worst I ever had in Thailand.

Cask strength is around 50% or so but when bottled they add a little water to lower it down to 40% or so

**mrsquirrel** · 16-01-2006, 09:44 AM

remember whisky doesn't age once bottled like wines do

**colourful-era** · 16-01-2006, 03:42 PM

I checked the web link Dougal -wonder what the stuff tastes like....

which do you think the buyer drinks it with, Pepsi or Coke?

Ok, I'll avoid it then as most of the beers here are foul.

Is Klosters drunk much in Germany?

I personally much prefer Kloster to Singha which tastes like embalming fluid (according to my cousin who used to work for an undertaker).

What happened to Amarit?

I heard that San Miguel was opening a brewery in Thailand, is it up and running yet?

**mrsquirrel** · 16-01-2006, 07:56 PM

You can get Grolsh at Carre Fourre - not bad but 99 a bottle.

**colourful-era** · 16-01-2006, 11:33 PM

Dougal -

yes, I beleive you can get cans of San Miguel now...not tried it though but I'm told it's good. (35B for small can)

I have never seen it here but maybe it is just a local beer. If I remember correctly Singha bought a german brewery which is brewing Singha beer for the european market.
In fact, the only time I have drunk a Kloster was in Thailand and I decided to never make this mistake again.

**dirtydog** · 17-01-2006, 03:45 AM

I also made the same mistake, foking awful stuff, I think it is a bit like the Aussies and Fosters, I mean no Aussies drink Fosters so they palm that shite on us lot.....

**Marmite the Dog** · 17-01-2006, 12:33 PM

Kloster is a Thai brand, now owned and manufactured by Singha.

San Miguel make Blue Ice and Red Horse, both of which are shite. Sadly, the Flippa San Miguel is not available here, as it is not bad.

As for whiskys - I only drink that Welsh bourbon, which is now made in the US (Jack Daniels), as I can't stand scotch. Wild Turkey is rather nice too.

**colourful-era** · 17-01-2006, 03:50 PM

I'll agree with you about the Phillipino San Miguel - great beer - drank a fair few bottles of the stuff as a teenager in Manila .

Welsh bourbon? - what's the deal with that?

WHY IS THAI BEER SO SHITE?

read something in the BK post the other day about the poor refrigeration process here thus they throw in additives but maybe that's just a myth...low quality ingredients?

this fomaldehyde story about Chang - I don't really beleive it but who knows - Thai beer definitely gives me a bad head the next day even if I only drink 2 big ones!

It is a Welsh recipe, that Mr Daniels took to the US if I remember correctly.

That was about Singh, and has long since been disproved. Was a big rumor in the days before refrigerated trucks here. Singh sitting in the heat of April for a month, good rumor.

**colourful-era** · 17-01-2006, 04:17 PM

what do you like to drink Aging One?

**aging one** · 17-01-2006, 04:20 PM

Chang is preferred beer, But will drink most anything. San Miquel as you mentioned is a great beer.

A good Scotch. Vodka in a water bottle to mix with fruit shakes here in Thailand is another one I like as well.

Vodka or clear rum is actually preferable.

I don't believe it for a fuckin' minute..
man if you gotta feel better about drinkin' it go on ahead skip this link to the Jack Daniels Website
Although it would explain why it tastes like fuckin' coal oil.
Wild Turkey; now, that's the stuff. I keep goin on about the single barrel stuff but... you gotta try it.

Jack Daniel, one of 13 children, was born in 1850. He was raised by a family friend before being hired out to work with the Dan Call family at the age of seven. Call, a Lutheran minister, also owned a whiskey still on the Louse River. Over the next several years, Jack learned everything he could about whiskey making from Call. Then, in September of 1863, under increasing pressure to devote his life to lifting spirits rather than selling them, Call sold his still to Jack, who was just 13 at the time.
Jack Daniel, like Dan Call, believed in mellowing fresh whiskey through hard maple charcoal. While this process was widely used, the time and expense involved made it less popular with penny-pinching whiskey makers. But Mr. Jack thought it was essential, so he perfected his charcoal mellowing process back in 1866. To this day, this still gives Jack Daniel's its smooth character and unique taste. In anticipation of government taxes, Mr. Jack registered his distillery in 1866. He was the first to do so. Making it the nation's oldest registered distillery.

Ain't one goddam mention of Wales, Welsh or any place other than the good ol' U S of mother-fuckin' A. CMN telling you tales again?

and BTW- Ya'll can raise the postcount of admission to certain reas to five hunnert now. Think I'm gonna celebrate; fry up a mess o' wings, some onion rings, maybe have an ice cream.

Fuck! I keep eating like that I'll never live to see a thousand.
