Re: whos into scotch >?

scotch!!!?????

oh........ u mean whiskey!! they dont make it only in scotland.

i like the odd tipple but not an avid fan.

i prefer mine smokey so i go with a Laphroig or Talisker. Best sipped straight. a good whiskey doesnt need polluting with ice or water.

as for the dicussion between blended or single. u should be shot at dawn for not knowing the very important difference!!!!

Right on, as of this year, they even brew whiskey in Belgium. Not even coming close to that shit: Belgium = beer, Scotland/Ireland = whiskey... dixi.

On topic:



Johnny Walker/J&B/Chivas is for mixing with coke.

Re: whos into scotch >?

I finished a few days ago a bottle of Bowmore Legend. One of the best I drank so far. But I also loved the Ardbeg and always enjoy some Talisker.

"Have a single malted scotch on the rocks, as long as it isn't a blend of course. Maybe Glenlivet, or a Glenfiddich. Any Glen."

Re: whos into scotch >?

Single Malt, always, and I always drink it neat. Even have the Glencairn glasses, made to drink whisky .

My fave's:

Talisker 10yr and Higland Park 12/18 yr (smokey, Speyside whiskys)

Good stuff I've tried so far

Balvenie Doublewood 12 yr
Macallan 12 yr
Dalmore 12 yr (first sip always tastes like honey)
Lagavulin 16 yr
Clynelish
Oban

I really want to get a good Bowmore to try, I've been recommended that one by the guy at my liquor store (he's a whisky fanatic, always lots of good stuff).

Last time I went out I went on the cheap with W and got a few Famous Grouse...after the second one I wanted to puke since it tasted horrible. I loathe blends, the only one that is acceptable is JW in some cases, but the taste is nothing like a Single Malt.

Re: whos into scotch >?

try the bowemore darkest or the bowemore 17yr...both really nice.

ohh, and donīt lump all blends together...johnny walker blue label is some great stuff (granted it ainīt cheap).

Re: whos into scotch >?

I'd like to give Blue or Gold label a try some day, I can't imagine that they're bad at all, but regular blends really just don't cut it for me, as do lower range whiskys

I'll see if I can find one of those recommended Bowmores...shoud be good

Re: whos into scotch >?

I really enjoyed sipping on Macallan 12 yr last night while playing Wii - Tiger Woods Golf for the first time, good times

Re: whos into scotch >?

Dalmore 12 yr (first sip always tastes like honey)

drank a flask of that at my last gig. very smooth. dalmore is an awesome value.

[shosh]

Re: whos into scotch >?

im a scotch guy (unless it's after a meal then I go for cognac or if i want desert a nice port or sherry will do).
imo the best are lagavulin, oban, glenmorangie (the 18 is fantastic). for christmas my father in law got me a bottle of cragganmore 29 which is fantastic.
my going out drink is the classic mac 12.
i usually drink my scotch neat, but at times i add a splash of water for taste discernment. too much water (or ice) ruins it.
scotch, scotch, scotch. i love scotch
