Thread: Scotch

Well I've seen the liquor store thread and the vodka thread but I didn't see one for my perfered drink, scotch. I've found my tastes slowly growing more expensive over the years and sometimes like to sit down with a 30yo single caske scotch. I'd like to know what some of your favorite scotches are. Right now mine are Glen Rothes and MaCallan.

It's no contest for me. The Balvanie Double Wood. 12 years old.

Aged for 8 years in Sherry barrals and then transfert to Port barrels to finish for 4 more years.

I prefer it neat on a very cold day with a book.

I agree if you get a good scotch neat is the way to go. Book or just listening to music.

I'm not a big Scotch drinker, the peat turns me off, but my Scottish mate gave me a bottle of Glengoyne and it is fantastic stuff. Smooth and clean...definitely a winner. A drop of water and a quiet evening make it perfect!

I still prefer a good bourbon, though.

I like to have a bottle of Laphroaig by the fireside.

I usually prefer Highland single malts, but now and then an Islay really hits the spot too. I don't have all that much experience with differend brands, so I can't be too much more specific. I usually keep a bottle in the house, though, right on my kitchen counter with my Britta and my Scotch glasses.

My two favorites are Oban and Lagavulin...however, i keep Dalwhinnie in the crystal decanter as a 'house' whisky.
Oh, and Peat rocks, btw!!!

I like the Macallan 18 yr. And the Balvenie Double Barrel.

Saw the Lagavulin 12 yr at Costco. Tempted to buy it. But its $80, is it really worth it?

Also saw Glenmorangie 10 yr in a 1.75 ltr bottle for $80.

I was afraid to try Laphroaig for the longest time because I heard it was a "Love it or hate it" scotch because of all the peaty-ness. I love it!!! It is leaps and bounds my favorite of them all.
