What's the best you've had? I'm drinking Glenlivet 12 year old single malt at the moment but I'm willing to expand my horizons for the Holidays.

Oban is very good.

Currently working on Dalwhinnie and it is at a better price point than the Oban and I enjoy it just as much.

If you are interested in a Scotch with more peaty flavors try Talisker but it is a stronger taste not everyone enjoys.

Not sure how you drink yours but I use a crystal glass that is hand washed, before pouring in the scotch rinse the glass with some spring water and dump it out before pouring in your scotch. No ice....... Enjoy.

I'm a cheap bastard...I like blended Famous Grouse or a lil J&B.

I've got a Glenlivet 12 in the cabinet, as well as a Balvenie DoubleWood that I like better.

Start a new thread for that. This is about Scotch.

Isn't there something like 90??

Dalwhinnie is more/less top of my list. Laphroaig/Oban/Talisker/Speyburn keep inching toward the back of the shelf for some reason.

It is said Scotch is an aquired taste. Haven't aquired it. If I was desperate for a drink and Scotch was the only thing available I would become sober.

I'm so sorry...

Most any single malt makes me happy. However, I consume the ordinary stuff most of the time.

Famous Grouse or JW Black with soda for my everyday drink, but Balvenie Double Wood or Glenlivet 12 yr old for sipping. Sometimes on ice, sometimes neat.

Bourbon is too sweet. Must be that new barrel thing they have.

Oddly enough, and not being a drinker of scotch whisky...
...I actually have some here at the house.
It's a 200ml, "Advance Sample" of, The Old Malt Cask, from the Caol Ila Distillery. 10 year old single malt, un-chill filtered. Bottled for Douglas Laing & Co.
Gimicky marketing, though.

For consumption, I like J&B and do not care for longer aged, single malt Scotches (bad taste buds probably).

For soaking your fob the brand does not seem to matter and Kirby has no preference.

Im with ya on that.

You boys go ahead & enjoy your scotch...... Did you know they use USED bourbon barrels to make scotch? That right there tells me that scotch is second fiddle to bourbon!

Oh, & I'll take my bourbon on ice w/ nothing else!
