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

Don't drink much Scotch but, Chivas with a single ice cube is nice.

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

Talisker is peaty and I like it.

Jonnie Walker Green has a higher percentage of that in the blend...so I like that too.

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...

...agreed! That stuff is smooth and smokey.

Like Oban once in awhile too... can be 'mediciny' once in awhile, though.
