Any scotch over 30 years old taste poor, IMO.

You wouldn't say that if you'd just spent $19,000 on that bottle, lol.

Can I assume that if you don't want "chocolate and treacle" with your Scotch you probably wouldn't want "road tar and eucalyptus" (as I've read about some wines) with your wine?

Who thinks up these descriptions? Who makes up these words to describe something you drink? Eucalyptus is for cough drops, not wine and even then it's still awful.

I bought a bottle of 25 year old Glen Farclas as a treat for Christmas and New Year's Eve.

It was the best, smoothest scotch I've ever had. Wonderful stuff. I munch a bit of shortbread with it.

I honestly don't much care for Glen Fiddich.

I'm still working on my Christmas bottle of Glenmorangie. Alas, the French have just bought the company. Perhaps I'll ask for Highland Park next Christmas ;)

[Burn24]

Not really. Not till you have plastic surgery done on your cloned cat!!

$19,000 minimum for a bottle of hootch. And to think, they call Americans shallow.

A guy who works for a distillery over there told me that after 15 years it dos not do anything more for the stuff. That I dont know about but what I do know is some of that stuff is vile tasting. Then some of the better stuff is as smooth as can be.

I had some 18 year old Glenfiddich which was so very smooth........

Despite being a Glenlevit man, my father would kill for this bottle.

Please tell me this is just a rumor......

I had an 18 year old girlfriend once,....she was very, very smooth.

Please tell me this is just a rumor......

Alas, no. Moët Hennessy pay £300m for Glenmorangie - 21-Oct-2004. And I really love the stuff, too.

[SeaDragon]

You are breaking my heart here.............

This is one of my favorites.

You can buy a lot cheaper toilet cleaner than single-malt scotch.

A $19,000 bottle of whiskey. I think I've found what it means to have too much money.

The Columbus Police arrested a $1000 an hour hooker this week. Her picture was in The Dispatch and she was very attractive. But $1000? Nope.

[IronJack]

a whiskey is aged if its older than thirty minutes.

Yep. When someone asks how old it is, you ask what time it is.

[Max in Utah]

Hmm...a shot of that stuff ought to taste right nice in a Pepsi with plenty of ice...

LOL!

A former girlfriend ran out of her Canadian Mist one evening, so she poured my last shot of Glenfiddich into a glass of 7-Up... I entered the kitchen just as she set the empty bottle down.

I just stood there and stared at her.

[Disambiguator]

Your former girlfriend obviously doesn't know the difference between whiskey and whisky.

Hope Ted Kennedy gets no where near that Prized bottle of Scotch!!

Wouldn't a Kennedy drink Irish?

[SeaDragon]

lol

and probably jail bait............
