Thread: Scotch/whiskey of the day

Having a whisky that represents each region is a good idea. The Lagavulin and Glenmorangie are solid choices. I personally prefer Macallan over the Glens but I understand your reasoning. Highland Park might be a good one to include.

I am still a great fan of GLENLIVET ................

I remember an "All in the Family" episode where Archie dug an empty Pinch bottle out of the trash and filled it with cheapo scotch to impress his boss. Ha!

I almost included talisker and aberlour as well, but I didn't want to overwhelm the restaurant manager. I don't think she knows whisky at all. I'm thinking aberlour might have been a better choice for a speyside, but not really sure.

As far as the blends go in that hotel bar i guess Johnny Walker is a necessary evil a company too strong to be ignored. But teachers can easily be replaced by Black and White , Cutty Sark or Chivas . Im no fan of teachers but the bar business is all about me isnt it lol.

Glenkinchie is my favorite of the standard glen line up.

Teachers was one of the better blends around ten years ago, especially for the price. I just saw Ralfy's recent review of it though, and it seems it's going downhill fast. We used to have famous grouse in the bar. I'm really not a fan of it, but it's another well known brand so it sells.

I like Old Crow, or Wild Turkey, I do not like Scotch Whiskey, but I do drink Old Bushmills Black Label, Old Bushmills, I can stomach Jameson's Irish Whiskey. I have also been known or accused of drinking Canadian Club.

I'm curious, why don't you like scotch? Is it simply the taste? I generally find people who don't like scotch either haven't tried good scotch or they're my mother. I haven't come across Old Crow before, but I like the name.
