Thread: New Bottle of Scotch for tonight

Just bought a bottle of that the other day as well. Though I am not a heavy scotch drinker I like this very much. The only other scotch I have drank was one my brother in law brought back from Scotland for me. Unfortunately I can not remember the name and at the time I was a solid beer only guy and hated the taste so gave it to my dad.

Just opened a bottle of Suntory Yamazaki 18 last night.

Who knew that the Japanese made such good whiskey?!

Fantastic stuff.

I adore all those Malts and don't forget Caol Ila! These just seem to fit the cold, rocky Maine coast in the colder months. The Islay malts really capture everything about the ocean that I adore.

I recommend Ardbeg Uigeadail highly! Double matured in Sherry Casks. The sweetness of the sherry goes wonderful with the Ardbeg style. Very complex and wonderful!

Is there an SRP social group of devoted Scotch drinkers? If not, then why not start one?

I'm partial to Johnnie Walker Gold as my everyday scotch. The one I've enjoyed most in the last couple of years is Macallan 17 fine oak.

Brilliant Idea, as long as it doesn't involve shaving at the same time

How does it taste? This interests me also.

I really like the JW Gold also. I always have a few bottles of it in the house. Macallan is also one of my favorites.

Tonight I will be enjoying more of the bottle of Glenfiddich that I purchased and started this thread about.

Cheers!!

I've never tasted Scotch from rum casks either. Thanks for giving me a great excuse to try a new Scotch.
