It’s saturday night, I’m relaxing and enjoying an irish coffee. Made with Glenmorangie.

[size=150]WOT![/size] 
Sorry, vic-k, took the wrong bottle. Should have been Redbreast, Pure Pot Still.
M
… snffle
… sob
as young Charlie says to his father in “Da” – are there no depths to which you will not sink?

Gör förlåta jag. Twas but a momentary lapse on my part, brought on by a Damascenesque vision of a steaming mug of pure Glenmorangie scotch, into which, someone had desecratingly added a spoon of Nescafe and a blob of squirty cream.
And, more likely as not, exacerbated by the fact that, at this very moment, this house is a Jameson free zone (not by design, but through criminal negligence on somebody`s part!), arrrrgghh!! 
Gör förlåta jag, once again, naught but a momentary lapse.
In future M, in order to avoid the opprobrium, castigation and vilification arising from a temporary but silly, nihilistic aberration: when making Irish coffee use copious sloshings of Jameson Irish Whiskey. Tis the only whiskey on the planet, that holds it place in he Pantheon of Sippin Liquors as well as making the best Irish Coffee. A fact to which young Phil Sheenan, will no doubt attest 
Take care

Vic-k,
You are forgiven. I am truly in awe over your vocabulary. And not only your english but also your attempt at swedish, that I realise must be very hard for a nonswedish to write. "FörlÃ¥t mig"is actually the right grammatical version of “forgive me”, but since my english grammar is lacking in many areas we won’t go into details. And I promise that in the future Jameson it will be.

Or you could try Powers whiskey - I don’t think Vic-k has shares in that particular Irish fancy. 
I think I will. You can never try too many brands of whisky, now can you?
M
Ah, now don’t get me started. Whisky without the ‘e’, eh? Hmmm, well Talisker is wonderful stuff of course, as is Lagavulin or Bunnahaven. Any of the peaty malts will satisfy (the sherried malts are not really to my preference), but for sheer unadulterated joy in a glass try Highland Park from Orkney.
I think I’ll obey myself and get one now…
Magnus,
the reason Jameson, is the most popular Irish Whiskey in the world. Is because it`s touched by Heaven. Its head distiller is an angel called Cedric, on secondment from up above. The overseeing of the distillation of this particular puddle of, uisce beatha is his baby. Cedric is a dotting parent.
It is for that reason, I reiterate the point I made in a previous post: when making Irish Coffee…use Jameson. It is the only one of the Holy Distillations that is not diminished by that process. None of the other venerable Sippin Liquors, be they Scottish or Irish, can withstand the adulteration…only Jameson can.
Believe me tis true
Take care

Beast!!
trust you to go on once again, in such an erotic way, when you know I am without!! pffrrrt!!
You can get around these perilous precipices by a slight change in method. Place the glass of your favorite firewater (The Balvenie Doublewood for me) at your left; place the cup of coffee at your right. Place nose between the two breathing in the delicate vapors. If they mix well, drink 'em both; if not, drink the one on the left, then drink the one on the right and the mixing will happen after your taste buds encounter them. Make sure both glasses are the same size for best vaporization.

Vic-k,
I have to ask: Isn’t these the words Helen Mirren playing Morgana in the film Excalibur says to Merlin when she puts a spell on him placing him in a crystalrock?
Could it be? The whole Arthursaga came to be beacause of Jameson?
Magnus
Actually Magnus,
After imbibing a certain amount of Jameson, the world, to me, does tend to appear slightly Arthurian and my wife starts to resemble Hellen mirren as Morgana, grrrr! 
Förlåt mig, once again!
NOTE TO SELF: REPLENISH STOCKS OR ELSE
Take care
Merlin
Vic-k,
Absolutely no need to apologize. In fact, if I pass by Stockport, I’ll be sure to bring you a bottle of Jameson and thus helping you fill up your stocks.
You take care too,
Magnus
Forgive the observation old horse, but I’m thinking that there is nowt to stop a certain retired metalliferous manipulator mit hirsute rectum from galloping off to the nearest off-licence and securing a quart or two of bottled heaven for himself. Or am I missing something here?
Magnus,
You are too kind
vic
Dave,
You do of course realise, that, if I use your method, I`d only be adding yet another strand of complexity, to what I already find, a tortuously convoluted process…living.
And!! since I am the washerupper in our house, I would have twice the amount of washing up to do. Which, in turn, hands ammunition to the Carbon Footprint Police, my wife introduces into the home environment, masquerading as her friends. Id be making a rod for my own back. Ive got enough of those as it is:(
Take care
Vic
Beast,
Overly cognisant as I am, of the needs and desires of others, my own needs assume a role, best described, as subservient.
My wife, unlike other women, who sign up for a years membership at the local gym, has signed up as a Lifetime member of John Lewis.
Do, bear with me.
As she sets out each day on her pilgrimage to this Temple of Mammon I sometimes ask her to acquire and and bring home certain items. The other day, th`item was the Holy Distillation.
My wife invariably forgets anything that doesn`t concern her retail therapy. I unfortunately forgot that she forgets. Consequently, come the hour: no Jameson.
The following day, under the yoke of domestic responsibilities, I took succour from her vociferous reassurances…all right…I know 
Once again therefore, come the hour…
Today…feck domestic responsibillities…I shall as you say, Beast, ride forth and secure [i]The water of Life[/i] for myself.
Do take care
Vic
Wouldn’t it be a “Scotch Coffe”, indeed?
To make vic-k happier, I must remember to have one with some Caolila…
Paolo
Paolo,
Caol ila+ a drop of water= Heaven
Caol ila in coffee= waste of a good Sipping Liquor whisky; waste of coffee; waste of money; waste of time. A bit like giving a corpse a blood transfusion:?
Buona Fortuna
vic
As cogent an explanation as I could wish for young Vic. Sobriety obviously suits you, but that then begs the question; do you suit sobriety?
