Being even newer to SMS's than Cigars, I have come to like Aberlour and Glenmorangie, both 10 year old if I am not mistaken. (nope, Aberlour is 12, just checked)

The Aberlour was very nice served up neat, but I found the Glenmorangie needed a little water to help it along (or me I should say!) and at this moment I am drinking some Glenmorangie on the rocks, and its not bad.

I am also enjoying a decent hand rolled corona from Stogies Smoke Shop in St. Augustine that I picked a few weeks ago. Not bad for a no-name stick.

I've decided to dabble into this scotch business. Is there any that you guys recommend I start tasting?

I had the 40 yr at a tasting, it was crazy good.

Soleful, what do you want to spend on the learning process and have you had single malts before? If so, what kinds and what did you think of the flavor profiles? If you never had a single malt, I would reccommend a "lowland" region whisky . It will be a flavor profile of sweet butterscotch with a smooth finish. You may try Glenkinchie, Auchentoshan or my pick for the brand new scotchdrinker, McClelland Lowland, it's about $22 per bottle. The others start in the $40's.

s0leful0ne · 08-31-2009, 01:26 AM

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

old pulteny, it's not too pricy and pretty tasty

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 · 09-01-2009, 03:27 PM

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.

Not to be technical, but these are the only ones in your list which are actually Scotch Whisky. To be considered Scotch Whisky it must be distilled, aged and bottled in Scotland; every other whisky that doesn't mean that requirement is not scotch.

SmokeyJoe · 03-12-2010, 10:53 PM

Have become a fan of this reasonably priced single malt...

Speyburn 10 Year. A real bargain IMHO.

I love Glenlivet 18, Nadurra, Glenfiddich 12, but this Speyburn compares favorably.

03-13-2010, 08:55 AM

Picked up one of my favs a couple of days ago. Ardbeg 10. long over due for opening it.

Very good for the $. Unfortunately my hand continually gravitates toward my Lagavulin, Ardbeg and Bowmore... then my wallet.

I like peat...can you tell?

This is a good one. Very good if you're just starting to dabble as well. It's got a clean finish and not overpowering at all.

The McClelland's is good for what it is, but keep in mind that it is a younger version of other Bowmore owned whiskeys. I believe they're all five years old, aside from the Speyside 12. Given the age you might find it to be a bit rough around the edges.

Look for a few of the glens to start. You should be able to find Glenfiddich 12 for under 40. Its a good jumping off point. It has nice flavor but won't overwhelm an unfamiliar pallet.

CBI_2 · 08-22-2010, 10:00 PM

Glenlivet 18yr. is the best I have had.

Glen Moray 12yr. for $19.99 is very good.

For a blended Grant's is very good. Nice and smooth. It is produced by the makers of Glenfiddich.

DAFU · 08-22-2010, 10:29 PM

Highland Park 12 YO is a great all round pour. Gracefully aged in oak casks it exhibits a nice balance of peaty smokiness and heathery sweetness.

Speyburn 10 Year. A real bargain IMHO. I love Glenlivet 18, Nadurra, Glenfiddich 12, but this Speyburn compares favorably. __________________ "I intend to smoke a good cigar to the glory of God..." ~ Charles H.

Glen Moray 12yr. for $19.99 is very good. For a blended Grant's is very good. Nice and smooth. It is produced by the makers of Glenfiddich. __________________ "The welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants." Albert Camus Cool Cigar Themed Stuff

Gracefully aged in oak casks it exhibits a nice balance of peaty smokiness and heathery sweetness. __________________ Remember there's a big difference between kneeling down and bending over: Frank Zappa(1940-1993)
