Thought i would start a thread about what you are listening to while enjoying your dram.

Personally i like sitting in my recliner swivel chair in the evening with the ear phones on and a dram in hand while i browse the SMW forum.

At the moment chair is reclined back and i am listening to Gary Moore Still Got The Blues album.

No so much music, but last night I was listening to some Ralft reviews on youtube as I was dramming the malts, also watching the football with the volume down low.

Occasionally I might put on Kind of Blue, sit with the bottle on a side table, close my eyes and pretend I'm in Ronnie Scott's.

...though normally I'll be browsing for nappy bin liners or some-such on Amazon while the wife watches X-Factor!

I've been known to put on classical violin music on the sound system while having a dram. For some reason , Lagavulin 16 seems to pair very well with this auditory frame of reference. Try it.

In the evening i enjoy listening to my Classical Chillout album, very relaxing along with a big smoky dram.

My taste in music varies but late at night i often listen to some blues or jazz while enjoying a whisky

My choice of music is like my choice of whisky just depends on my mood, i enjoy mostly classical, blues, jazz and rock

I never think of putting on music to suit a whisky, so whenever I do it's mostly classical, which is what I normally listen to. However, inspired by this thread - next time I'm going to put on something jazzy or bluesy to make me feel as if I'm in a film noir!

Classical, Blues and Jazz for me also, along with Pink Floyd, Dark side of the moon and anything by Aly Bain, particularly when I return from my whisky trips to Scotland.
