Scotch

[manlymatt83]

Originally tried Macallan and didn't like it. But now, I've moved on to things like Lagavulin. Love the smoky taste. Just bought a bottle.

Anyone else here a scotch drinker? Goes down smooth, doesn't feel like it's FULL of sugar like whiskey or wine or beer, though it probably is. Overall, such a good taste.

Lot of scotch threads lately. I'm a big fan. I recommend you try them all. They're all good, and it's a fun, if expensive hobby.

Highland Park 12 year is my standby.

Glenlivet 16 year 'Nadurra' natural cask strength - hands down the best I've had, and it can be found for under $60!

Try some Glenmorangie, the Quinta Ruban is my favorite.

Blasphemer!

I prefer Cragganmore, I don't like overly smokey whisky because when I actually do have a glass I usually have a cigar too...

I only drink whisky occasionally, I'm more of a beer kinda guy...

Love scotch. Love, love, love it.

The more you drink the more your tastes will change. Stuff I didn't care for when I first started drinking I came back to and really enjoy now.

For a good everyday, Glenlivet 12 yr is tough to beat and an all-around winner. I do love me a good Islay to spice up the night too.

Hate to say it, but Macallen is a badass, I have enjoyed the 3 or 4 different varieties I have tried. Drink and try all you can. It's pricy but you deserve it.

I took a recommendation from this forum and bought some Balvenie Doublewood. It's excellent.

My sister-in-law, typical bonehead metal chick upon tasting some fine single malt from Islay Laphroaig 10 yr old: "It tastes like cardboard, and why didn't you let me put a ton of ice in it?"

I rolled my eyes and kept my whisky to myself after that.

During the prohibition you could still buy Laphroaig as a "medicinal spirit" because the authorities didn't think anyone could stand enough of it to get drunk. lol

The Macallan is my favorite, as aged as I can afford. Usually a 12yr does fine.

Macallan 18 is a great scotch. A very well-to-do scotch drinking acquaintance of mine says it's the best sub-$300 scotch in his mind. I was very fortunate to have some $1000+ scotch at his place on one occasion which was a real treat. Glenfarclas 30 was my favourite I believe.

For us regular folk though, I REALLY enjoy Glenmorangie Nectar D'Or. It tastes like they put some honeycomb in the cask or something.

i got some Glenmorangie recently and while it's smooth, i don't think scotch is my drink. it's more powerful than i would like... but once in a blue moon it's nice.

lately i've been trying different drinks, beers, wines, etc. i think beers are my staple but i'm always trying out new stuff. i remember drinking gin and tonic once and liking that so i might go get some soon.

didn't mean to go OT here but to those who enjoy scotch or whiskey, more power to you!

Laphroaig.

what did a $1000 scotch have over the cheaper stuff?

My new favourite. It used to be glenlivet 15 - but this takes the cake

Scotch is cancer. It's like the took perfectly good Irish whiskey and put essence of burnt moss in it. :awe:

Scotch is rye whiskey. Also, whiskey has no sugar. Even if there was some left in the fermentation step, it wouldn't evaporate during distillation. Dry wines have no residual sugar, either. Beer almost always has some sugar left in it, though.

Got a gift bottle for my bDay, and have a new favorite: Talisker 'Distiller's Edition' (no age statement - 1999)

That's because you can find so many medicinal and sexual uses for it on your farm.

Scotch is made from barley. It's distilled beer for all intents and purposes. I don't know how much sugar it has after distillation, but it picks some up through casking, especially the wine casked varieties.
