Scotch Whisky - What do you drink?

[rumballs]

I haven't tried that many, but Glenlivet 12 is my favorite so far.

[bc3po]

famous grouse (gasp! a blend!) is my usual relaxer.But i keep a bottle of Laphroaig 10 yr old around for when i want something dark and peaty.

[Braxxy]

Glenlivet for a daily drink, Macallan 12 when I'm feeling spendy, and Johnny Blue when I'm enjoying an Opus X.

[croatan]

Macallan (any of them, but I've been drinking a lot of cask strenght lately) and Glenmorangie Port Wood are my favorites.

I love single malt scotch! Only drink it straight up. I like plenty of brands, but my favorite continues to be Isle of Jura. http://www.isleofjura.com/newjura/index.htm

Can be tough to find in the states!

Talisker 18 is the stuff I usually buy, Johnnie Gold or Green is good too.

In my earlier years, I was a big Scotch drinker.
At the time, did mostly Chivas and once in a while, threw in some Drambui for a nice rusty nail.

As I got older, gradually ended up with vodka as the drink of choice.
However, still enjoy a rare scotch drink. At this point in my life, I realize if you can, go for the best you can possibly swing. Johnny Blue does that for me.

On a side note, I am going through some personal tough times that have truly made me appreciate what I just said. If you can, when it comes to anything, don't wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow is so close yet so far. Live every day as your last.

Usually Cardhu. James Martin is also a favorite.

Have you tried Xellent Vodka from Switzerland? Quite amazing, has a real flavour, but it not flavoured, if you know what I mean?

Sounds like my experience with tequila. I won't even smell it. As for scotch, 18 yo Glen Livet works for me.

Just like with cigars, I drink lots of different single malts. For an everyday won't break the bank dram I like Aberlour 10, Jura 10 and Dalmore Cigar Malt. With a really powerful smoke I like Caol Ila or Laphroaig 12. My two favorites so far are Macallen 25 or Dalwhinnie 20.
Three fingers neat in a Riedel single malt whiskey glass is the bomb!

Anything in a Riedel tastes good...

As far as Scotch goes, Dalmore Cigar Malt or any of the Johnny Walkers are OK for me. I have a bottle of Cutty Sark sitting at home right now, and it looks so pale in its decanter sitting next to two decanters of Kentucky Bourbon. Tastes kind of pale compared to distilled corn mash, too.
