I haven't tried a FEW but more than a few
Too sweet and sickly for my taste. Some of the small batch stuff is drinkable, but not a patch on good Scotch or Irish - or even Japanese who make a very fine whisky indeed!
Never use really good whisky in marmalade

The FEW cask strength is a very different beast, very dry - also the Rye whisky, kind of sour - very suppable.
There are good and bad Japanese whiskys. India is getting better at it. Wales is catching up slowly every year. The lake district stuff isn't up to much and the other British distillery was awful last time I tried it.
As far as Irish goes. Connemara is a nice tipple.
Oh and if anyone offers you a Tasmanian single malt avoid at all costs, unless you like burnt rubber.

To be fair i cant stand any fruit and meat combo like that, even apple sauce on pork is a terrible waste of good meat imo....each to their own though
I might just have a snifter of the Rye - Master of Malt have it in cask strength

Its the only one i'll drink.....even if that does mark me as an uneducated heathen chav
Heeeeyy... what's wrong with bourbon?
And you do know scotch is now made in ex-bourbon barrels don't you?
The UK firm of Robertson makes a variety of marmalades. Lime is their best but it goes off very quickly.
Question: I've been told that marmalades labelled "Golden Shred" have whiskey in them. True?
You want serious rye? Alberta Premium.

Robertson's used to make good jam, real jam. Now it's a thick fruit syrup, just like almost all the rest 
Your marmalade sounds good though BR
I admit I'm a heathen and I don't like shred in my marmalade, so I make one jar just for me that's strained

Not all the time. All kinds of different casks are used. Sherry, wine, port... Sometimes a mix.Heeeeyy... what's wrong with bourbon?

Once you use the words "I make", you can have it any way you want! Thats half the fun. I make chilli sauce for herself that I can't eat (Steve finds it mildly tingly!), but I make a few sauce just for me
Sausage and marmalade has long been a family favourite, as has fried bacon and fried banana.
On one my favourite concoctions (and I've even kept the recipe a secret from my wife!) is sausages fried in french mustard then a good few dollops of marmalade fried with some onions, mushrooms, bacon lardons and/or chorizo chunks. Drop it in a casserole dish, cover with some gravy and bung in the oven for an hour on a medium heat.
I've also sometimes substituted the marmalade for a banana curry sauce that I got from our local Chinese supermarket with all the other components remaining the same. Its a crazy flavour but delicious.

Absolutely nothing, bourbon casks are used to mature one of the best mainline beers going;
