Whiskey Drinkers

Here is my observation: you know someone knows a LITTLE bit about scotch when they claim they only drink single malts. You know someone knows scotch much better when they recognize the quality and diversity of the flavor of single malts, but they also realize that many of the best (and better) scotches are well crafted balanced blends that will put many brutish unidimensional single malts to shame.

Having said that, and returning to whiskey sensu stricto, I like a good Irish Whisky over most Scotches any day.

This is probably directed at me since I listed two single malts.

Scotch drinker for 20+ years. I've had many of them, blended and singles. I prefer Lagavulin because of the flavor. There are few blended scotch's that offer that flavor profile, like double black Johnnie, but to me it falls short. I like single malts for their individual distinguishing characteristics. It's harder to grab me with a blended.

Lagavulin is awesome, its my favorite, cant beat it for boldness and peaty taste!
