I'll have to agree with you. This one of my favorites. Great neat, with a splash of water or on the rocks.

I'm going to reiterate a lot of what was already said. We drink a lot of scotch at my house so its imperative that I find some lower priced alternatives. These are by far the best I have found for the money.

Talisker 10 year(very poweful peppery complex scotch)

Aberlour 12 year(lush sherried red apples almonds)

Mccallan 10 year fine oak - I like this actually better than the 12 year. This is a real winner for the price.

balvenie doublewood - similar to aberlour. The nose is better but the flavor of aberlour is superior IMO

and of course Glenlivet - This is where you start in the scotch world as far as im concerned. Its a very unpretentious speyside. Expect smooth buttery with a little spice. This is a great scotch.

Bowmore Islay 18yr....omg smokey, smooth and reaaaaally brings out chocolate notes in sticks of all makes
McClelland Highland 16 is a brand made by the Bowmore distillery...cheaper and still rates high in tastings...smooth, but a bit lacking in fullness.

Irish: Bushmills...Black Bush or higher. Pairs well with Opus X

And if you want a beer AND a shot....Boddington's English Pub Ale will never ever detract from a nice whisky, whiskey or stick!
