Thread: Single Malt

I guess I'll get something started. What kinds of single malts do you like? Laphroaig and Talisker top my list.

both good but in the same class and slightly tastier... oban please.

I prefer Glenmorangie port wood finish 12 year with a good cigar like Fuente or Cohiba Dominican.

I like the Balvenie 10 year and Aberlour.
My late father used to bring me a bottle of Aberlour when he traveled to the UK on business.
Still can't seem to throw away that first bottle even though it's been empty for years.

Not too keen on the really heavy malts like Laphroaig and Talisker, personally I much prefer something a bit smoother like Macallan or (my current favourite) Balvenie Doublewood.

I am new to this and very interested where would a Noob start. For reference I do beleive if you are going to try something do not go cheap, get something that gives you the picture any ideas for a Noob

+1 These are my favorites also. I like the Balvenie in 21-year-old tho. I was taught a splash of water with the Scotch brings out the flavors. I like these either with Hupmann Robusto or a Romeo & Julietta Bully.

Oban 14
The Balvenie / Sherry wood 12 (I'mhaving one right now)
Laphroaig 15 in the winter
Lock Dlu 10, a black single malt
Glen Garioch 21
Singleton 25

In another thread we will talk about cognacs.

Talisker and Lagavulin. Laphroaig brings up the rear. Best I ever had was laying down the cash for a bottle of Talisker 20-Year.

Only a Noob but working my way through a few I seem to be taking to Sherry also somebody who was pretty knowledgeable and was teaching me a little recommended something with a a and he said I would like the 12 that it ran in the low thirty's said it was one of the best bang for the bucks out there but I forgot the Name HELP!!!!!
