But I've grown up to respect my elders. Don't take any bottle of whiskey older than you are lightly!

Did you know they sell a bottle of scotch for over $21,000. Numerous brands are $200 to $2,500 a bottle.
A nice 18 yr old Glenfiddich is about the highest I go though.
I guess I’m going to have to try Glenfiddich. I’ve seen it discussed many times on Freep threads. I’ve paid as much as $35 for some whiskeys, so I guess I can afford it.
I think you can get a young Glenfiddich for around that. The 18yr ran about $90 but it will last me a year or two.
It isn’t for mixing with coke.
I have a freind who is from scotalnd who brings me Tomatin 40 year old. Nectar of the gods.

I’m jealous. The best I’ve had was the Macallan 18 Year Old but its too pricey for me right now.
I did not know that about the effects of water and ice. I am a Scotch rocks man but it sounds like I need to do some experimenting with di-hydrogen monoxide.
Sorta like comparing fast food with fine dining.
The fast food is ok at times but doesn’t do much for the soul.
love the 12 year Solara Reserve.
just poured myself a 18yr old Glenlivet.
I’ve had a yacking cough that has woken me over the past two nights. The only way I can stifle it is to take a shot of Jack.
Today, there are 107 different whisky distilleries in Scotland today and none of them make the same product.
Does the writer really think that different distilleries would make the same end product?
My Granpa Mac was a fine man but he loved the whiskey way too much.
Ah Scotch, a rugby club I associated with had a tour set up for matches in England & Scotland. If you want to have good meal in England, eat breakfast 3 times a day. For Scotch, oh wow, its true, there is quite a few distiliaries. I shipped home about 30 liters from 12 distiliries whom’s Scotch will never make it to the USA, because of whatever reasons. Each and everyone is unique to my pallet, and is better than Chivas. I break out some libations for quality sippin with comany that will appreciate the expierience. Funny crack about Scots; what do you call a Scotsman? A Irish man whom never learned to swim;)
Never liked scotch much until I got a taste of the real stuff, a 10-year-old Laphroaig, of all things (Did you know the founder of the distillery slipped and drowned in a vat of his own whiskey, back in the 1800s?. But they said he must of liked it because he got out a few times to eat.)
My favorite these days is The Macallan. Most extravagant purchase was a glass the 25-year-old anniversary malt at a fancy restaurant. Holy moly, it was like drinking silk. Love to have a case of that stuff!
Drank Glenlivit for a number of years.
Just recently bought a bottle of Bowmore.
At first didn’t like it.
But really like the taste now. I only drink occasionally but in the winter it is scotch and it needs to be good scotch.
If you like Jack, you need to try Rebecca Creek whiskey from San Antonio. Smoother than frog fur and Texas born and bred!
