Re: What was your last Scotch purchase?

I bought a couple bottles, Glenfiddich 12 and Macallan 12. I liked the Macallan much better.

I've had it and liked it, but I bought it hoping it would taste like the old port wood finish that they stopped making and it didn't. Although I bought it at a time when I was just learning how to drink single malt scotch neat as opposed to on the rocks, so that may have affected my opinion/taste.

Re: What was your last Scotch purchase?

Picked up some Old Pultney on a recommendation from SmokeyNL. Good stuff. Only my second bottle of Scotch. Better than the Glen Moray I had before.

Re: What was your last Scotch purchase?

Got my first bottle of single malt not too long ago, The Glenlivet 12.

I have, the 18 has a deeper finish and a complexity that the 12 doesn't quite capture. The 12 is good but the 18 is great.

My most recent, which was also my first, was highland park 12

Does the 18 have the 'sting' that the 12 does?

Re: What was your last Scotch purchase?

Got my first bottle of The Glenlivet 12 y.o. that came with a nice same title branded flask Saturday. Mmmm, me likey.

I need to try the 18 then. I just bought a bottle of the 12, and it is superb. Smoothest 12 year old I've ever tried.

Re: What was your last Scotch purchase?

haven't had a good scotch in the house for a while, the last was Dalmore 12, which I liked a lot. It may be a good time to shop for a few new ones I haven't tried, which are many, so it shouldn't be hard. ;)

I know it's not scotch, never bought a bottle of that either, but I thought I might try something besides a Coca Cola when I am sitting and enjoying my cigars after dinner.
