Scotch drinkers?

[Dumpster 0]

I'm not talking that Chivas Regal or Crown Royal swill either-

One of my vendors got me a bottle of 17-year old cask-strength Macallan single malt!

mmm - Tasty!!

Normally I drink Glenlivet

Any other single-malt fans out there?

OOhhhhhh you don't want that stuff. Just to save you from drinking it, you should send it to me. I am willing to make the sacrifice

That's what I love about this time of year. People are always thinking of others.

Yup. My top three affordable single malts, in order, are:

Glenfiddich Solera Reserve 15 year
Glenmorangie 10 year
Glen Garioch 15 year

Mmm...usually Glenlivet for me, but sometimes either Oban or the 12 yr Macallan.

It's a real challenge drinking it, you know being a little older and having to add a slpash of water since it's cask-strength, but I think I can handle -

(Pardon me while I take another sip-)

Good God man, whatever you do DO NOT add water to it. Don't even put ice in it!

Think I have only have single malt 16 year old Glenlivet. Yum...sounds smooth?

Sorry, but the only thing that should be added to a single malt (and it the law O.K!) - is another splash from the same bottle!
Enjoy

I beg to differ when it comes to cask-strength scotches - It is not filtered or anything when bottled - The flavor is way overpowering to the point of being repellant. Even Macallan themselves reccomend it, inspite being 17 years old.

Glenlivet is my first single-malt love! It's a great scotch and has is really pretty affordable as far scotches go. 16 year old is going to be very pleasant, too.

Around here I can find it for about 20 -25 bucks a bottle, sometimes even less.

Perhaps you need to read up on the proper process for tasting Scotch as described by the The Scotch Malt Whisky Society - Edinburgh.

Glenlivet, Glenfiddich, and Glen Ord are all readily availabe around here and usually around 20-35 a bottle. One scotch I had whileTDY to France was William&Lawson. I honestly can't recall if it was a single or not. I haven't seen it here in the states at all.

Excellant website Ian! Thanks very much for sharing it! I'm fortunate enough that our water is from a well, and it is run through a softener then an activated charcoal filter. It's free from the water-treatment chemicals found in normal city water. I know few folks who use distilled water, either for diluting of for making icecubes with. I enjoy ice-cold scotch sometimes, I don't know if it's "kosher" but I find the difference in the taste enjoyable.

One of my favourites: Bruichladdich 15 year old - The 17 year is great too but personally I like the 15 year old better.

Not necessarily, especially with a cask strength bottle.
It's really about what you enjoy.

I like my Scotch straight, with a touch of water, or sometimes with one ice cube.

You can get very different, but equally good sensations from playing with that.

I'm a big fan of Glenmorangie 18, McCallan 12, and Highland Park to name a few.

Occasionally I like to thrash my pallet with some Talisker or Laphroaig.
Who would have guessed I could like something that reminds me of bandaids and burnt plastic?

Unfortunately, I probably have to pay a lot more for them than most of you guys do.

I'm drinking some 12 yr glenlivet in a memphis airport bar RIGHT NOW! hehe its good enough without being insano expensive for an airport. I hope I can use my 10 dolla voucher on this! :)

Scotch snobs!
Do remember Mouth's drink of choice....we're waiting for delivery here in Eloy....Well?

Laphroaig 15 is way more approachable than their 10 year. That and Lagavulin 16 are my two favorite Islas. Also, Springbank makes a darn good, albeit expensive, Highland.
