Scotch of choice?

[TheAnvil 0]

I just finished a wee bit o' Glenmorangie. Superb. I love scotch. Anybody have a favorite? I tend towards Glenmorangie, but enjoy many others. British friends have introduced me to some superb ones, but I don't remember many of the names. Bastards always try and get me hammered on Scotch in revenge from some innocent tequila fun I've had with a few of them. Hehehehehehehehe.

Why limit yourself to just one? Just like tequila, it all depends on your tastes at the time. My favorites are Islay scotches like Ardbeg or Laphroig, but not a lot of people like it that smoky. I also like Speyside single malts such as Aberlour, and Glen Moray. Talisker is a good Island, Oban is a good Highland, and you can never go wrong with a good Glenkinche as a lowland. Try them all and decide what you like best!

The Balvenie

Derek

To be specific The Balvenie Cask 191 is a very superior single malt Scotch whiskey.
Aged 50 years and it goes down like silk.
If you can find it, it will set you back about $1000 or more. There's supposedly better out there but this is my favorite.
I think I'll pour me one now.
And yes...that's one thousand.
For a good everyday easy to find Scotch it's hard to beat Jameson Gold.

If I remember right ( and I might have been a little intoxicated), Turtles Scotch tasting turned into a piercing demonstration

Yup Glenmorangie or Knockando,


I am also more than partial to a few swigs of Jameson (good Irish whiskey)

Favourite Scotch - Longmorn.

Not above splashing Jameson into coffee. If it's good enough for the Irish ..

I am. I think.

Glenmorangie is very nice..

But I usually have to content myself with cheap stuff, of which Glenn Talloch is my definite favourite.

Dalwhinnie is probably my favourite single malt Scotch Whisky, but I also quite like Lagavulin and Cardhu. Now Glenfiddich on the other hand is total shite and I wouldn't run my zippo on it.

To me that ruins a good whiskey and a good coffee.

Talisker 8 yr (can't get this anymore)
Dalwhinnie 15 yr
Glen Turret 15 yr

I like the Islay whiskys - Laphroaig and Bowmore are good stuff.

Laphroaig

While I like Islays, this is the mother of them all. Most single malts will grow on you. This one didn't...

Hmmm ... an former boyfriend with the same 3 letters in front of his name as you're getting was also a Glenmorangie enthusiast ... now I'm going to be looking for a 3rd data point.

Ever had this ?:

Cult whiskies: Port Ellen

Old, increasingly rare and made in small quantities, Scotch is the perfect cult item. For you non-whisky-geeks out there, one of the most popular styles of Scotch whisky comes from the Scottish island of Islay (pronounced ee-luh), known for its strong peaty flavor.

This is one of those love-it-or-hate-it whiskies (even for lovers of whisky), with tasting notes that usually go something like "iodine, tar, explosive salt, hospital gauze, like standing downwind from a fire on the beach."

A special sub-strata of whiskies are those that come from distilleries that have been mothballed, and Port Ellen was one of many that didn't make it through the whisky slump of the 1980s -- but happened to make really excellent whisky.

Supplies of Port Ellen are still being released, incrementally, but as they become rarer and rarer, Port Ellen becomes cultier and cultier. It's not uncommon to find bottles selling for well over $1,000.

Same diff.
Scotch used in the general term. How often do you hear somebody ask for an Irish on the rocks?

I have tried many single malts, but they are still not one of my favourites. However, there aren't many days that go by without having a glass of one of the JW products. I have them all lined up in my liquor cabinet: red, black, green, gold, blue and blue King George V.

Depending on my mood, I pick a colour....I find red label to be an outstanding every day scotch.

Cragganmore is my favorite so far, but I still have a lot of tasting to do. I tried a skotch called Sheep Dip one time that was decent but it was searved "neat" and I'm more of an on the rocks with a spash of water kinda guy.

Its interesting to me how the same skotch can taste different with a little water, like it almost opens it up and you can taste all the different layers better.

Whatever you do though... don't mix it with soda, or for God's sake coffee! Irish whiskey and coffe perhaps, but not skotch.

If we've got a poll on skotch we need another thread about cigars. I'm at work right now, but maybe I'll start that one later.

"Ignorance is bliss" and "Patience is a virtue"... So if you're stupid and don't mind waiting around for a while, I guess you can have a pretty good life!

I'm a big fan of Cragganmore, Talisker, and Laphroaig. I'm sippin' on som Jura right now, though. It's (almost) all good!

The Macallan 18 year (I tried the 25 once and it was fine, but I wouldn't pay for it), Balvenie 21 year old, Lagavulin 16 year, Talisker 20 year, are all tasty but different.
