Same here I just can't do it, captain, I don't have the power!

DALMORE 1973 Gonzalez Byass has been my most memorable single malt. I have one bottle left for a special occasion tbd.

On a more consistant basis I'd say I like Islay single malts. Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Ardbeg, Bowmore...but then again I like Speysides and Highlands, and Lowlands... Cragganmore, The Balvenie, and I wouldnt exactly spit out Mac 30. Glenmorangie is a simple single that is almost always good.

I think I like single malts because I can pick a flavor characteristic and run with it. If I want lighter with almost fruity nuances I may have an Auchentoshan. Want peat? Bring on the smoke. Back to Islay!

If I want to blend my flavors and get a smoother mix...break out the Bourbon.

Gotta agree with SingleMaltScott - there is no way to choose a favorite!

Right now, I'm heavily into Dalwhinnie 15 yr and Aberlour 12. There are weeks I think Glenmorangie is the bomb. Balvanie Double Wood with a Padron '26 is heaven! For a special occasion I really like Macallan 25 (but who wouldn't?). Cao Islay is my choice when I'm feeling peaty.

I'm getting thirsty, gotta quit now.........

Looks like I am going to have to give scotch another try. It has been 5+ yrs since I have had scotch and did not give it much of a chance. I was more into Jack and coke at the time.

[Irish Hawk]

for me it is a good cigar and The Balvenie Port or the double wood

So many Scotch brands, soooo little time! I am currently loving the Balvenie Doublewood 12 yr old scotch and sipping away at the Glenlivet 18 yr old. Good stuff!!!!

I will be honest, I have never tried Scotch on the rocks or "neat". I drink alot of Tequila OTR or Rum and coke!!!

I recommend trying it when you want something new or different from the norm. A proper glass with a cube or some water will heighten the experience IMHO. Find a good friend or bartender that will treat you right and recommend a nice bottle to try. You will know right away if you like it or don't...

So far my favorite has been The Glenlivit 15yo French Oak Cask. That stuff is just smooth.

I also like The Dalmore, Glenfiddich 15yo, The Glenlivit 18yo, Speyburn 10yo, and I have a bottle of Glenmorangie 12yo Port Wood.

I tried Ardberg before and it tasted awful. I guess I'm just not there yet. I mostly stick to Highlands and Speyside.

Dalmore 12 year.


edit - price to quality ratio is high on this one.

I've tried a lot of different ones. I usually like the scotch, just not for the price it demands.
