And all this talk got me wanting to drink some scotch! So I broke out some Glenmorangie and an Opus X I've been waiting to smoke for awhile. So far pretty tasty! :tu |
Re: Single Malt Scotch
Not sure I would call this a bargain Scotch, but I picked up a bottle of Ardbeg Supernova. Wow is a good intro. Very complex and sweet with an orange and sea taste with a finish that keeps going and going!
Highly recommended, but might not be to everyone's taste. http://deadlinescotland.files.wordpr...upernova-1.jpg |
Re: Single Malt Scotch
Moses, what's the msrp on that scotch? Also, was it aged in sherry barrels?

As for barrels? I don't know, but it claims to be the peatiest Scotch ever created. |
Re: Single Malt Scotch
I myself am a fan of Oban... I've yet to try the Ardberg or Laphroig, but both should be happening soon. On a side note, does anyone decant their scotch?

Decanting would be a good idea in the right situation and is commonly done. |
Re: Single Malt Scotch
Im working on a bottle of Aberlour 12, which is fantastic and not to terribly expensive, but my everyday scotch is McClellands highland. At $23 a bottle its hard to beat. imo

Decanting might be an advantage if you were hosting a large tasting or event where you could reasonable expect the entire bottle to be consumed over the period of a few days but I probably wouldn't do it otherwise. Whisky also naturally self-decants when you use a proper tulip or thistle shaped glass, and that glass also allows you to nose the aromatics which are just as good (and IMHO often better) as the tasting of the actual liquid ;) |

Re: Single Malt Scotch
Lagavulin is our favorite here. We wait until we can afford another bottle and switch to something else when we run out......like now. $80/bottle here.

On my honeymoon in the Caribbean last month I picked up a 1L bottle of Laphroaig 10 for a song. :D

Recently tried some Rosebank 1991 Gordon MacPhail Cask Strength. Outstanding.

Re: Single Malt Scotch
I've not had too many scotches but I like Macallan 12 and glenlivet 12 for a cheaper scotch. But Macallan 12 is my go to bar scotch if they have it.

Re: Single Malt Scotch
I am still learning about single malts but the best I have had was Glenlivet 18Yr. that my neighbor gave me.
Since I now work at a liquor store, that has some of the best prices anywhere, I just got a bottle of Glen Moray 12Yr. old for $19.99 that I think is very good. BTW. The store I work at has Glenlivet 21Yr. for $99.99 right now. |
Re: Single Malt Scotch
Picked up a bottle of this on a whim. Haven't tried it yet (maybe tonight!).
