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.

Them boys in Lynchburg, they make a darn fine whiskey. And Tennessee was here for Texas when we needed the help. I'll stick with my black label.

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.

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 it is hard to believe that this sentence got past the editor today:
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;)

How to Drink Whiskey
Slowly and with something in yer belly. There are other ways, but a body usually ends up nekkid, in jail or both.
To: nickcarraway
Real Scotch Whisky is made with malted barley and pure Scottish water, and to qualify as Scotch, it must be aged for a minimum of three years on Scottish soil. 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.

My Scotch of choice today, preferably with one cube of ice instead of the water as suggested, as well as a fine choice of Scot:

In general, the tips they give here are similar to those for tasting wine. I’ve only had Scotch a couple times, but it was enough for me to decide I prefer single-malt to blended.
I thought the “bacon” comment was funny. Especially since I frequently pick up aromas of pot roast on a good pinot noir.

A good Scotch is about the only thing that will pull me away from Smirnoff triple distilled.
Just like with the Smirnoff, no ice, no water.
2 shots at the most.
No headache.
