New Bottle of Scotch for tonight
I purchased this today to taste. I've never tasted Scotch from Rum casks. I found this new place in Union NJ which has lovely selection of old scotch including some 30 and 40 year old stock.
I started with one since it was reasonably priced and with the warden with me, I went easy.

If you think a $100 bottle of scotch is reasonably priced, then its probably better that the warden was there. There is no reason to spend hundreds of dollars on a bottle of scotch, unless you live near me, and are willing to share.

I also enjoy blends. Some will say bad things but it I could only have one bottle in my house it would be JW Gold label. My favorite.

I also have to say it is a delightful Scotch. I enjoyed it very much.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Glenfiddich is a good one, great choice..!
Glenmorangie do a few whiskies with different cask finishes on them as well, and are definately worth a look if you like cask finished whiskey.
If you want to have it the traditional Scottish way (as my Grandfather taught me..!), mix it half and half with water and dont have any ice in it. That way you get all the flavours of the whiskey. If you have it neat or with ice, the alcohol strength and coldness mask a lot of the subtle flavours in there.
Enjoy!

I have the "Lasanta" and the "Quinta Ruban" on my bar now. Terrific stuff! And though I prefer it neat, adding water does release some flavors that you can't taste otherwise. Originally Posted by Stubear

Even a couple of drops of (filtered) water will open up some
more flavours, without appreciably diluting the drink. The
non-chill filtered Scotches will even get a tad cloudy when
you do this.
