    Talisker comes from the Isle of Skye. Awesome, my favourite Malt. Find it and get some, it is absolutely fabulous.

    If you can buy Oban you will find Talisker.

    Is it a single malt or is it blended?

    I love the MacAllan. The 12 year old is my go to scotch, can't afford to drink the 18 as much as I'd like but the 12 is in my mind one of the absolute best singlemalts available in it's price range.

    I don't touch blended stuff either. Life's too short to drink crappy scotch.

    Oh, on that note... hot scotchie... early morning brewing session, you take a pint of the first runnings of the mash (very sweet, caramelly high gravity first runnings from the malt prior to boiling, warm (around 150 degrees or so). You add a couple fingers of scotch to it and nurse that while you're sparging your mash. Guaranteed to make a brew session go smoothly.

    The only thing you should measure is the ice!

    Precisely. One rock and smother it with scotch so it just cools it slightly without geting too watery.

    Now THAT sounds like a nice time.

    I've often wondered if I should keep my scotch in the freezer for just this reason. I like it cool, but don't want to let it get wattered down. I like my vodka and gin there. Would it be blasphemous to put the scotch beside them?

    I believe the correct measurement is "stop at the top".
