Macallan 18+, Lagavulin, or Oban always treat me very well....

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 
Lagavulin 16 as a daily, but Laphroaig Quarter Cask and Aberlour a'bunadh for those special drams. Others, too, of course, but how much room do we have? :ss

If you like those, try the Peat Monster by Compass Box. Smokey, peaty and powerful. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner of the company and he is doing great things with Whisky.

tnip23 10-16-2008 10:26 AM

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 
Balvenie doublewood
Glenmorangie port finish
most any Macallan

Thanks for the suggestion...i'll definately try to track down a bottle up here (MA). I'm always up for trying a variety of scotches, thanks!!!

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 
Another vote for Lagavulin 16. Also enjoy Laphroig if I am having a very strong cigar. On the lighter side, Glenfarclas 21 or Glenmorangie.

Scotch is gooood.:ss

jcarlton 10-16-2008 06:50 PM

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 
Macallan 15 Fine Oak
Glenlivet 18

The less peat the better for me.

markem 10-16-2008 06:55 PM

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 
Probably my all time fave was a 33 y.o. Springbank. Second on the list would be a 27 y.o. Tamnvulin-Glenlivet single barrel that I still have.

awsmith4 10-16-2008 08:33 PM

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 
The one I drink the most is Balvenie 12yr Doublewood, but the Balvenie 21 is probably my favorite it is just a little too expensive as a daily drink

Darrell 10-16-2008 08:33 PM

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 
Lagavulin 16, hands down.

cigars_n_scotch 10-16-2008 08:38 PM

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 
I love this thread as well. So many new options to try!! Time to make a list.

GlenMorangie
Macallan
Laphroig
Cragganmore
JW

The 21 is great but do try the 17, it's a nice sherried dram! 17 years in a sherry cask. Just as goodas laphroig30.

Darrell, Try the peat monster if you like the peaty smokey flavors

The Lagavulin is nice.

I've only tried a few single malts so far, but the winner by a large margin is Laphroaig 10 year.

:tpd: That is a great Scotch for the price. I also like to dip into the Johnnie Walker Blue Label from time to time.

Deucer 10-16-2008 10:56 PM

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 
Aberlour a'bunadh. MMMMMMMMMMMMM good.

massphatness 10-17-2008 06:53 PM

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 
Johnnie Walker Blue Label is my favorite, but way too expensive for regular consumption. The Scotch I drink most often is The GlenLivet.

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 
I really like Lagavulin 16, but recently Glenrothes 1991 has hit the spot.

JohnnyFlake 10-18-2008 10:44 AM

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 
My favorite anytime, blended scotch. is Johnnie Walker Black!

My favorite special occasion blended is JW Blue!

My favorite anytime SMS are Aberlour 10yo & Springbank 10yo

My special occasion SMS are Bowmore 21yo & Springbank 25yo

Of course, those are my favorites at this time in my life. My SMS favorites do change from time to time, however, my blended scotch favorites have not changed in over ten years now.

Single Malts...Laphroaig 10(only because I can't find another age). For those with a deep interest, there is The Scotch Malt Whiskey Society of America at http://www.smwsa.com. It's a bit pricey for me right now but some of you may be interested. Cheers!:chr

Yamazaki made by Sunatory. While expensive it's fairly cheap compared to Johnny Blue. Who would have thought that the Japanese would make great scotch! ;)

Yes it is!!!

Don't buy another drop of anything, until you can afford a bottle of Highland Park 18yo! It's not cheap, at between $85 & $95, but you'll be happy you did!!!

IMO there is no other scotch than can touch the HP 18 at that price point. It is expensive but very much worth every penny. Try it. You won't be disappointed!!!

What the hell do YOU know?

Is that what they serve at Mandalay Bay? :D


(HP 18 is the shiznit. :tu)

Demented 10-24-2008 08:15 PM

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 
Glenmorangie Port Wood Finished is at or near the top of my list, Oban 18 yo. is a fine scotch and another near the top of my list, but the two can't be compared.

If you get the chance, try the 17yr old sherry cask, it's dynamite. Better than the 21yr Port wood IMHO.

Laphroaig 15yr
Laphroaig 10yr

I really like Obans. I had the pleasure of tasting a 100 year bottle. It was amazing.
My girlfriend just bought me a Macallan Fine Oak 15 year bottle for my birthday. I really like Macallans. It is a very nice beverage.

nozero 10-31-2008 05:45 PM

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 
I always hated Scotch until a friend at work got me a bottle of Glenfiddich 12. I loved it. Lots to try here, thanks to all for the recommendations!
