Once a Year . . .

[spiderweb]

. . . I buy a single malt. This year I got a 12 year Glenfiddich, and I'm sipping now.

Amazing.

 

[steingar]

Yummy.

 

[spiderweb]

Yummy.

And incredibly smooth.

 

[Sac Arrow]

Dude, I do that once a DAY.

 

[momalley]

LOL....Try the 21yo Havana Reserve (Gran Reserve)

You must have a lot of benjamins. This bottle cost me $60!

Most ALL "Glens" are wonderful. Fiddich, Grant, Livit, and others.

Single Malt is the only true Whisky.

Cheers

Well, the shot costs me $8. I'd be better off buying the bottle.

Ohh, wow. Yes, you would!

I've been working on a bottle of 15 year Glenlivit over the last few weeks. Good stuff.

A few weeks ago, the VP walked into my office and dropped a bottle of Bushmills 10 Year Old Single Malt.

Way better than the stuff from that 'other' island.

Technically, by political affiliation that's what I'm supposed to drink. I just like the taste of Jameson's better.

John Powers, Tullamor Dew, Bushmills, Jameson, in that order.

There's a nice 12 year Cragganmore in the cabinet right now, but I'll be darned if I know who it's telling me to vote for.

The Balvenie 12yo Doublewood is my go to, can be had for $50 or less in most places

Some people taste different wines, some people taste different Scotches. I'm definitely more in the latter group.

We've been invited to some very nice wine tastings by our airplane co-owner and his wife, who's studied some on how to be a sommelier, and without a doubt, every darn time I end up liking the cheap wine when the votes are all tally'd at the end of the evening.

It's almost to the point now where it's going to become a joke. Great wine is just lost on me, I guess.

Hand me a speyside and a highlands, and I can tell the difference, along with enjoying different finishes from various cask styles (I had a nice sherry casked single-malt last year, but can't remember which one it was... fascinating difference in flavor...) and smoke vs. non-smoke, etc.

Tastebuds are cool, since everyone's are different.

This place used to be only five blocks from work, many years ago... it was dangerous to both body and wallet...

+1. The 12 yr Glenfiddich is a solid backup when the wallet is a little thinner.

I must say that Laphroaig is an acquired taste.

For the uninitiated, check whisky.com for all things Scotch.

You guys know that just about all Scotch has a little Bourbon in it, right?

 

[Mattl]

I'd have to say this is one of my fav's

Though this is great, for a little better price.

And when I'm in the whiskey mood this works great!
