I also am a lover of scotch. Glenfiddich is my preference. Mmmm, love how it warms going down. :)
Arbegg for the campfire experience, Springbank 30 if you have the $$$$, Speyburn 10 for a GREATLY underated single malt for cheap. Fiddich, meh, LIvett, meh, they are ok, but there are many better for the $$ (sorry to burst your bubble SF-i will buy you and GFP a drink next time i am in the neighborhood)
baa scotch!
give me granddaddy 100!
Closed on the house I was selling today. Check is in the fedex from the title company. So I went and bought a bottle of Lagavulin 16... I can't tell if I like it or Talisker better. Guess I'll have to keep drinking until I can figure it out.
I've been working on a bottle of this for the past 2 months. Good stuff. Of course I've gone thru about 3 handles of JW Black in the same 2 months. :pQuote:

Lagavulin - mmmm peaty....
What is the proper pronouncation of Lagavulin ???
"Gav-ee-lynn"??
Thanks. So clearly an Isle of Jura production with rebranding for the younger generation.Quote:

Shit. Just got paid and my supply is running low. Time for a trip to the 'ol state liquor store.
Allright, I need some help guys.
I'm not a scotch conniseur. But, I do appreciate good grog. (I brew beer and I could talk about it for days)
I haven't really drank much whiskey straight in my time...(I'm only 26 and It still must have had a bad association with college) But, last summer at a friends wedding I had some Talkisker 18 year (Yes it was awesome). Then, I ended up finishing a bottle of Bushmills 2 moths ago with my uncle and cousins before going to the Steelers Broncos game. I had never had Bushmills before and I really enjoyed it. I know Bushmills isn't a top shelf even among blends. So, I went to the liquor store to expand my horizons. I didn't want to spend any money on a good bottle just becuase I don't wanna buy something that I don't like. So, I went safe and decide to buy a cheap bottle of something that might be a small upgrade to the bushmills. So, I went with Johnny Walker Black. Yeah, I've had Red (usually as shots or a mixer) and I've tasted Blue (before I appreciate the taste of scotch). But, while I can drink it, it just doesn't do much for me. I'm not sure what about the taste, I don't like. But, it was a disappointment.
So, if I really like Bushmills. What is the Scotchy direction that I want to go in? I've seen Bushmills 12 and higher at a few bars. I've never tried and I don't recall seeing it at liquor stores around. Is there a good $30-$40 dollar bottle of Scotch that might be a Bushmills upgrade. Or should I just stick to standard Bushmills and be thankful that I have cheap tastes?
