But my long standing comrade has been the Macallan. When I'm feeling like I deserve something nice I spring for the 18. 10 or 12 is delicious too.



When it comes to blends or if I plan on drinking all night (weddings), it's Johnnie Walker Black Label on the rocks. The stuff goes down so smoothly it's scary. I don't care if you're anti-blend, it's good. For me, it's better than all the Walkers above it with the exception of Blue (I believe green and gold are blends as well).

Stay thirsty, my friends.

Another one to go for when drinking more than 2 is Glenrothes, very smooth, goes down ver easily! But for a glass or two, Islay are my favourites (Bowmore, Lagavulin, Laphroaig...).

But in summer...Tom Collins! (or his cousin G&T)

Gentlemen,

A great single malt scotch will do just fine on a day when everything has gone right.
