Whiskey Drinkers

I like to have a variety of Scotch on hand some peaty some not.

If I can only have one in the cupboard it would be the 18year old Highland Park.

Single Malt Scotch is DEFINITELY my drink of choice! My go to is Glenlivet 12yo. However, The Balvenie 1991 Portwood has been my all time favourite! Personally I'm not a fan of peated scotches; instead give me a Port or Sherry oak barrel matured one any day!

This is my Game of Thrones premier whiskey, so I thought I would share. A lot of people that like Jameson 18 yr. like this stuff, so I finally went for it:

I will let you know what think after next weekend.

Anyone had the Oban 18 year single malt Scotch?

Holy smokes. And that isn't a pun. One of the more unique kinds of Scotch I've tasted. Anyway. I'm not sure if the nearly $100 price tag is worth it. I think Glenfiddich 18 takes it especially for the price. But still. If you haven't had it you should at least try it once. Good stuff.

Jameson for me...

Don't how I only found this now, I only drink once every few months or so and really only hit the whiskey on a few days a year, If I'm looking for something to pair with a cigar I usually go with makers. Used to have friends who let me drink the good stuff occasionally, I have had taste of fiddich 30 and I can't say it was too much better than 18, different but not a couple hundred dollars different. I stay away from the scotch most of the time because they get out of control with cost quickly, so I would say when I do drink it would be makers on the rocks or straight depending on my mood.

Give Kraken a try if you haven't already -- strong, very, very dark spiced rum. Good shit

Ky. is where it began and we own it. Do the Bourbon Trail starting in Bardstown Ky.. Enjoy a week of learning the history and tasting. Then move South I-65 about 3 hours into Tenn. and tour the Jack Daniels facility. Charcoal and grain is where its happening. Ky. invented it and used the rivers to sell in Louisiana for years then the mob got their hands on it, "prohibition". We still have it and we love our liquor of rotten grain, limestone water with a hint of burnt white oak suit in it. We like our tobacco dark fired and sometimes sticky. Our horses are fast and our women are beautiful. We own the Corvette but prefer 370Z's. Toyota's are best in holding value and are built in the Bourbon Trail home of Ky.. So pack your Z with whatever makes you happy and tour the state of happiness and good taste. Once your done in Tenn., keep going to the gulf into Destin Florida. You will be amazed at the beauty of that little fishing village.

My two favorites. You guys with the JW blends....yeesh. Those are so over priced, almost any single malt over $35 has a better more unique, deeper flavor.

The Ardmore is most certainly not a particularly peaty or smokey scotch...

Guess your taste differ than mine. I picked up a bottle cuz a co-worker's house is right across from the factory. Drank half a glass and haven't touched it since. Felt like I was drinking whiskey filtered thru my bbq smoker.

Are you sure you didn't have something else? Like an Islay or something? I'm just shocked somebody that likes Balvenie would consider Ardmore "peaty and smokey" to the degree you are insinuating.
