I second (or third or fourth?) the Glenmorangie Orignial. It is my favorite everyday.

Blends are made from different vintages and sometimes styles, of scotch (in this case), made by the same distillery. |

For that matter, any non-single barrel is a blend. They key is to know what you are talking about. Do you? Cheap blends are cheap for a reason and expensive blends might be expensive for a reason. capiche? |

But a single malt means just that..it is NOT a blend. By strict Scotland definition. A blend is from different distillers...and 99% of the time...YOUNG scotch. Hence...reason why they are cheap. You saying all non single malts are blends unless single barrel....is 110% wrong. Its Scot. law how they are defined. Campbeltown Lock is a "blend" that MANY will drink...that refuse to drink blends..due to its uniqueness of being 100% springbank and longrow scotch. All made under 1 roof. |

I have gone back to the U.K. every few years ever since..and really...the only dynamic that has changed is the immense popularity of Islay scotch....and for good reason.. Look at it this way.....those cigars you can get at a filling station....we all know they aren't premium sticks....blends are kinda like those station cigars. But, it you ever want to venture to Islay or Speyside....Campbeltown...i've been there on the dime of the U.S. Air Force...and single malts are the only game in town. Enjoy what you want... but seriously..listen to ralfy..he is quite the character....but so in the loop. Someone mentioned expensive Johnny Walker....well...some gurkhas are expensive....but they are still rubbish. Goodness....Time to move on.. Drink those blends....someone has to. |

Re: Scotch's that wont break the bank
I enjoy a number of single malts -- Glenmorangie 21 year old single cask is about the best I have had. I also like Johnny Walker Blue... I don't fit your standards, but I am OK with that.
Smoke or drink what you like... Drink or like what you smoke and to include what Mark said -- don't look down on others for what they like... |
Re: Scotch's that wont break the bank
I must say wddwkelly, for a new member, you have an obnoxious attitude, not generally seen here with even older, crabby, members. But, I guess that's you and I expect that some of us will learn to get along with it.
That being said, The following link will explain what Single Malts are and what blends are, for those who wish to read. http://drinks.seriouseats.com/2012/0...ed-whisky.html BTW, I have experienced many, many single malt scotches, in my 73 years, but I love J.W. Black and Chivas 18, better than most single malts! Of course, that's just me! |
