I put 18 year old malt whiskey in my hot chocolate.

Is that sacrilege?

That's all.

Sounds incredible.

Sounds lovely!

Excellent idea

Are you Stifler's Mom?!

One word. Yes.

Desperate situation?

yes !

Was it Irish?

yes, sacrilege to the hot chocolate and for the lovely malt.

Don't blame you. It's lovely like that.

Yabu. Dark rum is much nicer.

It wouldn't have been my pick - single malt is for drinking straight up and cooking whisky (famous grouse etc.) is for mixers and food.

Only exception is cocktails when i do think a decent spirit stands out.

Its fine, it's only whisky at the end of the day. I once used a similar precious single malt in a hot toddy when I had a cold. ExH went apeshit, and the fucks I couldn't give were more or less infinite.

No. Same for people who use Champagne to make Bucks Fizz. And Baileys in hot chocolate (it’s actually horrible!)

It must have been if it was whiskEy?!

maybe American I suppose, but that wouldn’t be remotely sacrilegious.

I have no time for whisky snobs getting precious about not even putting so much as a dribble of water in. So YANBU IMO. I personally wouldn't, but only because rum or Polish cherry or hazelnut vodka is so much nicer.

Gosh - you must be really rich.

Chocolate is sacred, but if adding whiskey floats your boat, then you mght as well add the best.

Only bad if it was a peaty whiskey, that wouldn’t taste nice!

never had alcoholic hot chocolate: must change that!

I'd have to tip the hot chocolate away if it was me - whiskey just tastes like smoke and old aftershave.

So if you like it, you can have my share for the hot chocolate and keep your share for drinking 'properly'?

You enjoy it, it takes away the out of date stuffy idea there is only one way to drink a malt and it increases sales. Win-win for everyone.

but only because rum or Polish cherry or hazelnut vodka is so much nicer.

I require more information on this, please. As a matter of urgency. Thank you.

lolol "smoke and old aftershave", @GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut . That's pretty much why I don't drink whiskey but, equally, I can see some artisanal distillers adding that to their wanky tasting notes.

As long as it wasn't someone else's special bottle... why not? Neat or in hot chocolate its still drunk.

I've never tried it but I'm definitely curious and open to it.

Also - have you tried Coole Swan???
"it's a tasty cream liqueur made with single malt Irish whiskey, Belgian white chocolate and fresh cream."

im going to treat my family to a bottle for Xmas
