What is your favorite Scotch Whisky

[s0leful0ne]

i guess i'd start with a bottle under 40 then if i enjoy it, I could pick up the next bottle a little pricier

Anybody try Lismore Single Malt? I picked up a bottle for $28.00 Saturday. A nice fruity nose, bit of a short finish, but otherwise not too shabby.

[s0leful0ne]

Picked up a bottle of McClelland's Highland the guy in the shop talked me into, it was one of the cheaper ones, and one of the only ones suggested in stock. I'll give it a whirl tonight after the gym.

all of the above

I haven't tried many scotches yet, but out of those I have, the vote goes to Ardbeg 10 yr. old.

jonny blue

I picked up Ardbeg 10yr on Sunday for safekeeping, Arran 10yr to drink for the meanwhile, and tomorrow I am going to pick up some Glenfarclas 17yr old.

A high five goes to the next person to suggest me a good speyside scotch. I was going to go with the A'banadh, but my freaking liquor store seems to have ordered the worse batch, #30. Anyhow, anyone recommend a good speyside scotch, single malt. I am ready to go up to 100 on this one as well.

Oh, and ordered me a 4er of Glencairn glasses

You may want to try Balvenie Port Wood 21 year Old, Glenfarclas 105 or the Glenfarclas 17 year old!

All three are exceptional!

I am picking up a Glenfarclas 17 yr old tomorrow as stated above. So its good you mentioned it. Looks like it is probably good.

The Balvinie 21 port wood costs 195$ here. Shame. Our amazing government is worth s. SAQ.com

You can select english and see all the single malts. I am looking for a nice overall scotches to add to my list.

The Balvenie 12 year Old Double Wood is also exceptional, just slightly under the Port Wood. A vary worthy Speyside, at a much more reasonable price.

I'd be very surprised if you did not really enjoy the Glenfarclas 17yo.

I have a feeling this will be a good choice. I have 3 ounces left of Ballantines 12 yr old single malt that was sent to me from Italy as a gift. I decided to finish it tonight. It was quite good.

I really hate it that we can't access Laphroaig here in Montreal. A shame really. I tried Lagavulin the other week and it was nice and smooth, peaty and smokey. If only the A'bunadh was not batch #30

I am still a scotch noob, but after all the stuff I have tasted, I always come back to this stuff. Freakin fantastic. I really love Oban as well, but is was a good bit more expensive.

In comparison to the 17 yo the 105 is like solvent....

I don't one what's available over there but a really nice Speysider is Mortlach... underrated distillery imho.

One of the best from the Speyside I ever had was an old Glen Grant... 30+ yo.

If you wanna spend some more bucks, luck out for this... from Independent bottlers... you won't regret it.... this Whisky is mind blowing.

Just picked me up a 17 yr old Glenfarclas. Does any one know if this is non-chillfiltered. Not a big deal, but I do not see it written anywhere on the bottle.

Generally speakin: a Whisky which is bottled with an alcohol strength of less than 46 % is always chill-filtered. Exceptions are if they are not reduced with water to that strength, then they can be un-chillfiltered.

In the standard range Bruichladdich is one of those, having at 46 % and un-chillfiltered....

I'm hard to satisfy with a Spey, but whew... that'll do me up good.
Exceedingly HTF, though, if you don't live in the UK or Japan.

The choice of Whisky that you take depends on many factors.... what you gonna smoke while drinkin it, what's the correspodning food etc.

The range of Whiskys that I have starts in the Lowlands and goes over Highlanders and Speysiders to Islay (which are my favorite ones)... but in the end it depends on the mood and the situation. A sweet Sherry bomb is more suitable to a good desert... a salty one may go perfectly with some seafood etc.... you can continue it endless....
