What was your last Scotch purchase? - Page 4

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

I will let you know as soon as it arrives (I ordered online to avoid the Oregon state monopoly).

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.

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.

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.

cricky101 · 06-30-2009, 05:25 PM

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

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

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.

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.
