Yup. Though I've got to say, everytime my boss has me make a Rusty Nail with 15yr old single malt scotch, I feel like crying

I never understood the snobbery that sprung up around Scotch, particularly in North America... I enjoy Scotch neat, on the rocks, or mixed.

It's an appreciation for fine liquor.
If you're hanging out with Jessica Alba, you don't tell her to put on baggy sweat pants and a turtle neck.

If you're spending more the $100 on your particular bottle of Scotch, then by all means, appreciate it, but when it's a $15 bottle of JW... have fun... experiment... live a little...

Of course. I was refering to the 15y single malt.
A scotch snob wouldn't be drinking a $15 bottle

I'll second that, nothing better than 18 year old Macallan's!

What does it taste like?
I like the taste of rum. Is it anything like that?

where?

My cheap favorites...Macallen 12 year and Oban 14 year. Both are about $50/bottle. The Macallen 18 year is great and I happen to have a bottle...$100/bottle. Any of those get poured straight up or on one cube of ice.

It's definately an acquired taste. One of my friends is a Taquilla guy and likes the expensive stuff but can't handle the expensive scotch.

OK Ron, we know

I'm a scotch drinker. My favorite single malt by far is Glenrothes. Not cheap, but worth it.

Johnny Begg w/the blue cap is my fav. Nice and smokey tasting, its delicious.

Tried it a couple of times and didn't care for it. Even people who like it still make a face like they've been punched in the stomach after they take a drink. I guess it is indeed an acquired taste.

1) The first shot of it is always strong. It is the 2nd+ drink that taste so good.

2) Buy the 80 proof stuff. It is harder to find, but it takes the edge off and that face won't occur. Yet you still get the flavor and the effects.

It makes me puke in my hair.

Perhaps you're right. I don't remember the brand that I tried, but I doubt that it was one of the best.

Yeah, the real cheap stuff has a lot more burn than the middle/high end stuff.

Glenfiddich FTW!!!

Not TOO much... Speyburn is a flavorful intro Highland. generally under $20 750ml...

By no means am I a Scotch afficianado, but my Brother-in-law IS Scottish, so I've had a fair number...
