Scotch
I have searched the site, and have not found a definitive thread on scotch and the selection and consumption thereof. I personally prefer Macallan 12 Y O or better if I'm drinking it neat, or Chivas if it's to be on the rocks or with water/soda.
Talk amongst yourselves.
Good times,
Blake

Had an apartment with a friend, that both the Scotch and Tequila evaporated right out of the bottles through the lids!!!

I'm currently enjoying a bottle of Glen Garioch, a Highland. My last bottle was an Islay Island, Bunnahabhain. Yes, a little self education is going on... I'm discovering there's quite a bit of variety in the tastes, almost as much variety as in wines.

Quite true...Scotch can be complex, if you stop before the room starts spinning...

Johnnie Walker Blue Label. I prefer to buy it "duty free"...
If that fails Black Label will work.

Why would you dilute a good single malt with ice? It's already 99.98% water. Just put the bottle in the fridge or freezer, but don't water the flavor down.
Before my dad died, we went on a shopping spree and I inherited his half of the purchase...we enjoyed our scotch together...bonding time.
-Macallan 18 and 15 year old
-Balvenie port wood 21 year old
-Glenmorangie 18 year old that I am sipping right now.
I do hope the TS enjoys scotch.....I'm planning a visit in July for shooting and other assorted fun things and thought I'd share.......

Yup!
I just ordered 9 bottles form the SCOTCH MALT WHISKEY SOCIETY. If you like single malts, they have an excellent selection.

The Scots Whiskey
My personal favorite, waiting in my cupboard for any visitor: Lagavulin and Laphroig.
Peaty, damn near sooty, medicinal, the way the Scots Whiskey ought to be.
As an above average scotch, with a storied history, try "The Glenlevit" (the only Scotch that takes the definitive article).
"Of The Glenlevit it is said,
that if a man could drink just the right amount every day,
nay too much,
and nay too little,
he would live forever,
and the uindertakers would go out of business."

Lagavulin
Praise Jesus, it's like drinking liquid smoke. At $80.00 a bottle (duty free), I wasn't quite ready for this very peaty experience. good stuff.

I am not sophisticated enough nor do I drink enough Scoth to judge Single Malt so I stick to Blends.
Grouse Gold Reserve
White Horse
Johnnie Walker Red/Black
I started drinking Johnnie Walker when I as 20, so I prefer that over some others, but the best I ever had was actually a Single Malt from some Lowland area in Scotland a close friend made me try neat - I forget the name - so now I never ask for ice.
