So I am drinking some Scotch

[TheBDB]

I poured myself some GlenLivet on the rocks, and when I take a sip I get a nice warm feeling in my stomach. I've noticed this drinking Crown also, but not when taking shots of tequila or vodka. Anyone else notice this? I'm a big Scotch/whiskey fan, so feel free to share your thoughts about it.

glenfiddich 18 year is sooo much better

 

[vi edit]

Errrm, pretty much any brown colored hard alcohol does this doesn't it? Whiskey, bourbon, scotch?

 

[TheBDB]

Bah this is 18 yr too.....and at $50 a bottle I couldn't get one of each to taste test. How is the taste of GlenFiddich better?

This show on the history channel was just talking about scotch.

I know that was why I started drinking.

If you want a mind blowing single malt, I recommend Glenrothes. My favorite single malt, and I've had many, many different ones.

 

[SilentZero]

Discovery Channel promoting scotch? Better start watching more often.

 

[dirtboy]

I don't like Glenlivet at all, but you might want to try mixing it with water.

Jager.


Its like being kicked in the head. Twice. And not noticing it for about an hour.


EDIT:

Oh you were asking about burn feeling...


Everclear.

Its like being kicked in the head. Thrice. Noticing it the second you smell it.

IMO its smoother

personal pref i guess

 

[ThePresence]

It's all about Glenrothes.
Seriously, if you haven't tried it, you should.

Isn't that typical of any drink with such a high alcohol content? I don't drink much Scotch, but I get similar feelings whenever drinking high alcohol wines, Ports, Brandy, etc.

I'd think so, especially liquors.

Nothing like a nice 21 yr old single malt scotch to warm you up... picked one up on the way back from Canada last week at the duty free shop.

 

[RGN]

Picked up Glenrothes last night, A+++ (Very smoooooooth, with a better flavor than Glenfiddich, but not as much as others. Very nice)

Glenlivet == A++ (Flavorful, but could be a bit smoother, good peat taste, but not overpowering)
Glenfiddich == A+ (Smooth, but not enough flavor)

 

[dragonballgtz]

Tequila I feel more in my throat. Like it burns.

Vodka does nothing to me when I drink it.

Scotch and whiskey does give a better smooth warm feeling though IMHO.

Whisky. Scots and Canadians leave out the "e."

Otherwise, no Scotch is truly bad....some are just astronomically better.

I would like to thank Anubis for I bought some Glenfiddich tonight and it was really good

 

[sonambulo]

who wants to sign up for a blind taste test?

 

[dudeguy]

I think Laphroig and they other Islay malts, Edradour, J&B and some of the northern malts which have a caramel taste.

Edradour

Islay Malts, yum!


J&B, one of the best blended

Speyside Tamdhu the famous Cragganmore

LIAR! Try Aberlour. It's so horrible I jabbed a screwdriver in my temple to try and forget about it.

I'm quite partial to the scotches that were aged in Sherry casks, whether partially or entirely. Macallan is my absolute favorite. It's just an amazing scotch. I've had Macallan 12yr, 15yr, 18yr, 25yr, 30yr, and Gran Reserva, and I'll tell you that they're all amazing scotches. The Gran Reserva is truly their best, and it costs less than even their 25yr.

I also like Balvenie. They like to experiment with aging the whisky in different casks (port, sherry, different oaks, etc.). I prefer the sherry, obviously, but they just generally make good scotch.

My other favorite is knockando. It's the easiest scotch I've ever drank, and it's just amazingly smooth. It doesn't have the kick other scotches have, but it still has a great taste.

For the record, I think that while I can stand them, both Glenfiddich and GlenLivet are horrible. I also don't care for Glen Moray.
