My favourite kind of Scotch is the kind that stays in the botttle......lol.

I just can't develop a taste for it. More power to those of you who enjoy it....you're a better man than me.

My buddy just gave me a bottle of Macalllan 12.. I saw AVB's collection and almost $hit my pants.. Boy, you would have to chase me outta your house if I made it that far.. That is one helluva collection.. I run down my bottles to fast to keep it like that..

You can buy the Jon, Mark, and Robbo at Bevmo.. That the last place I saw it, but don't remember the price.. Its sounds like a cool dram..

I am starting on my JD single barrel; have a little left of my Hennessey Gran Cru, and my baby, the Lagavullin 16 (is almost gone)..

Right now I'm sipping on a JW Green...but it doesn't compare to the Highland Park.

Anybody have a suggestion for another scotch that has a nice smokey flavour to it? Thanks in advance for the help.

Laphroig is as smokie as it gets. 10 yr is a bit harsh older bottles are better but they get exponentially more expensive!!!

Bowmore 15 yr or McCallans cask strength both are smokey and robust.

Like many others who have posted, I had tried scotch but never liked it. But what I had tried was the typical blended stuff you get at most bars. Someone suggested I try a single malt and that changed everything. It is also kinda like when someone starts smoking cigars. You want to start mild and work up to the stronger stuff. My first single malt was Macallan 12. This is a very good scotch that is slightly sweet with almost no smoky flavor. I then tried the Macallan 18 and was in heaven. Similar to the 12 but much more flavor. As my taste develops I've been able to move to the smokier scotches. But it is not something for a beginner. These have already been mentioned, but some very good, moderately priced scotches include Dalwhynnie 15 and Dalmore Cigar Malt.

There is a cigar bar in Houston called Downing Street, and that is where I've had most of my experience with single malts. They have a great selection and a great atmosphere. They also have a great selection of bourbons and cognacs. The bartenders and waitresses are very knowledgeable and can guide you to whatever flavor you want to try. I'm always up for a trip to Downing Street, so hit me up some time and I'll meet you there.

Hey Labman,

If you want smokey, try Lagavulin 16 year.. Its like having a lump of coal in your mouth.. Stand by, its not for the weak at heart.. Once you hit it, you're stuck like a truck..

If you don't want it, send it to me, LOL!!
