I have to agree on the Double Black. I really enjoy the taste. I bought two bottles last time and was thinking about
buying a case if I can get a good deal. Don't know how long they will keep making it, but I certainly enjoy it. For those who enjoy a prater taste, give it a try.

For my taste, Glenlivet is tops for smooth sipping scotch.

I tried Dalmore Scotch recently. I dumped it down the kitchen sink. Terrible stuff.

No offense, but reminded me of a movie quote:

I bought a bottle of the Double Black tonight and am sipping some now. Seriously, except for the alcohol heat and lack of hop bitterness, it reminds me a lot of a German Rauchbier (smoked beer). It's a different smoke flavor entirely from that of peat used to kiln the malt and is very charcoaly. Bet it would go great with charbroiled foods!

Here's a quick update. I had another dram of the JW Double Black last night, and the charcoal smokiness was less pronounced than it was when the bottle was first opened. I'd read that whisky changes its flavor and becomes softer and less intense over time as the bottle slowly empties, and this appears to be true. Strangely enough, my Shackleton and Cragganmore 12 actually got a little smokier over time.

My buddy bought the Aberlour A'bunadh on a suggestion from the guy at the liquor store. This is batch release, cask strength. The bottle he got was batch 38 and 60.3%ABV
This is a relatively inexpensive scotch and I was surprised at how good it was. I will be buying myself a bottle when I get the chance.
