Hi Rob,

Adding port wine actually sounds good to me. I would also add something very smoky in it. Some affordable heavily peated whisky. Just because I tend to like sweet and smoky whiskies, and I’m not a big fan of blended whiskies. That’s why I would add those ingredients into the mix. But of course, those are just my opinions, based on my palate.

How did the two blends with splash of port taste?

br, Johannes

I bought a disgusting non age-statemented Shackleton homage blend on a punt ferr mi christmas Anyway i mixed in another annoyingly liquorishy blended whisky(about 8%, not telling you which) and i then added a tiny dod of fine port to colour it. You’ll likely hate me ferr this(im English)but its a bit more drinkable now and made me feel better about mi dodgy purchase. Any thoughts on dodgy home brew blending from a pro would be interesting. cheers Rob Kidd

That sounds interesting Jan, I’d go for it just for fun. And it might do good for the quality if you’re going to store them for a longer time, if the palate satisfies you. But it’s of course hard to determine whether the mix would have a good palate.

In my experience it’s usually good to blend strong expressions with milder ones, using much smaller amounts of the stronger stuff, of course. Those three are probably quite similar to each other, maybe Jack Daniel’s being bit of an exception? So if the total amount of JD is less than Early Times and Crown Royal combined together, that blend could actually work.

I’d go for it and blend it again with some other whiskey if the blend of those three doesn’t fit your palate. Thank you for such a good question.

I’d like to blend together whatever I can to save space while packing to move. Can I mix any or all of these together for a creative fund?
