Laphroaig or die.
Ping for the Bourbon List
I like Dewers for a blended Scotch.
Prefer bourbon myself, but if I had to pick a Scotch, I’d probably take Laphroaig.
Pinch AND Johnnie Walker Black, neat
How about Blagojevich Scotch Whiskey? The proof increases every day.
We prefer Aberlour or Glenfiddich - the Islay malts are too peaty, including Lagavulin... yuk!
Where is Oban?
And if he is talking about the best scotches, why include black label and not blue label?
Glenfiddich. Got to tour the distillery and try ‘a wee dram’. Mmmm.
Laphroaig is great, especially the Quarter Cask (my personal favorite).
Apparently, somebody thinks Johnnie Walker Black is better. (?)
This topic demands a sea shanty!
OOOooo, whiskey is the life of man,
Whiskey, Johnny!
I drink whiskey when I can
Whiskey for my Johnny!
Whiskey from an old tin can,
Whiskey, Johnny!
I’ll drink whiskey when I can.
Whiskey for my Johnny!
I drink it hot, I drink it cold,
Whiskey, Johnny!
I drink it new, I drink it old.
Whiskey for my Johnny!
I thought I heard the old man say,
Whiskey, Johnny!
I’ll treat my crew in a decent way.
Whiskey for my Johnny!
A glass of grog for every man,
Whiskey, Johnny!
And a bottle full for the chanteyman.
Whiskey for my Johnny!
Whiskey makes me pawn my clothes.
Whiskey, Johnny!
And whiskey gave me this red nose.
Whiskey for my Johnny!
YEA HAY! CHEERS!
Oh we are so jealous of your tour.... a taste tour no less! ;^)
If you like blends and j walker try the Gold or Blue
A really nice single malt 16 yr Glenfiddich
Oddly enough, I like Johnnie Red better than the Black. But either one is definitely the best blended Scotch. Actually, I like the Green best of all, even better than the Blue - which I have only had on one occasion - but for an everyday Scotch, JW Red or Black are the best.
My other faves are Laphroaig and Lagavulin.
We need a Scotch List. Can you imagine the Freeper Distillery Tour? LOL!
Hehehe! Of course! It’s funny tho....when you go to the Jack Daniels one, you have to drink lemonade. Dry country! LOL!
I’d say Green and Gold are by far the best for the money. Red and Black contain grain whiskies that in my mind seriously taint the taste. Blue is good and all, but there’s no way I can justify what it costs. I paid $120 at a duty-free shop and even that was way out of line (especially since Gold was $37).
