I am more of a rum guy, so my tastes run towards a sweeter liquor. I did try Cask & Crew's Walnut toffee whiskey and have not found anyone who has tried it and doesn't like it.

 this I've heard before, that Brits prefer to drink malt
Wonderful beverages are made from malt. Beer, Whisky...
I became a lager brewmaster for 12 years after University & know all about the wonderful things you can do with malted barley. Rye not so much...

You Brits and canucks and Irish. Semantics about Whiskey/Whisky. Kentucky bottled in bond bourbon/Rye is where it’s at. The rest is crap.

A tad harsh, ssorenn. American whiskey ain't the best but I wouldn't describe it as laughable. I've heard it makes a very passable drain cleaner.
That crap you call whiskey , may as well be paint thinner.
Oh dear me, no. We call our stuff whisky, old chap. Whiskey is the slightly different name given to cheap foreign knock-offs, much like in Hong Kong where a search of the flea market will find a dazzling array of abidas sneakers and Praada handbags 8-)
Whisky is Scotch
Whiskey is Irish

Everything else is an abomination.

 I have begun occasionally frequenting a pub in London which has a very large selection of American whiskey (i.e. bourbon).

I like bourbon but am not used to this much choice. They have somewhere around about 140 varieties. My normal choice is Maker's Mark, but I'm normally lucky if the choice extends beyond Maker's Mark, Wild Turkey, and something like Knob Creek. I know enough to know I like Maker's Mark, that I also like Wild Turkey 101, and that Jack and Jim are nothing special.

Any recommendations to try, now I have access to this house of plenty?
You don’t play the ukelele at all, do you?

For a special occasion, Elmer T Lee Single barrel sour is delicious, but it's definitely more expensive and can be hard to find.

You can have all that peat driven crap you want. Good old fashioned Kentucky whiskey is where it’s at

 My favourite bourbon has to be McVitie’s, although I'll accept a Waitrose if nothing else is available.
This is funny because, you see, British people take biscuits very seriously.

You need to drink more bourbon, then that statement,you will see, is false
