Favorite Scotch?

[Timster]

Mine is Johnnie Walker Green Label

Now if money is no object, I might amend that to Blue Label.

[JohnnyFlake]

My go to scotch for at least the last 20 years is Johnnie Walker Black, which is a blend. Teachers Highland Cream, a blend, is my number two go to scotch. My favorite higher end scotch, for the last few years, which is also a blend, is Chivas Regal 18yo.

With respect to Single Malt Scotches, for the last few years, my favorites are Ardbeg 10yo, Highland Park 18yo, Lagavulin 16yo and Springbank 10yo.

ive been into single malts for about 6 years now. i like Glenlivet 18, yes they are expensive but they are deliciuos in my opinion. another goodie is Glengoyne.

I usually drink single malts, but I have to admit I really enjoy the Johnnie Walker Green Label, maybe even more than the Blue. I think it is because of the inclusion of Cragganmore in the blend, which is one of my favorite single malts.

I also have been really into Aberlour and Glenmorangie (love the 18 yr!) lately.

I haven't been drinking strong alcohol for too long. Still trying to get into to. I'm a poor college kid and just mainly been drinking beer. You know, the good stuff....Sam Adam's Black Lager and Cream Stout. Guinness. And some local brews. I love a dark beer and have been wanting to try to get into drinking scotch. I've been sitting on a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label for awhile, looking to save that for a few years. Anyway, to answer the question of this topic is Johnnie Walker Red Label....mostly because it's the only one I've had. But it was good!

J W makes a good scotch and should do a young man just fine.One thing though,might as go ahead and down that bottle. Liquor can only age in the casks,once it's bottled it doesn't change any more.It's the combination of the wood being infused with it and the slight bit of air getting to it through the barrel which lends to ageing resulting darker amber and complexity and smoothness.

In other words, twelve year old scotch is going to be twelve year old scotch even if you keep the bottle around for 40 years.

Sorry, but I never acquired a taste for scotch. Tried a few and it just didn't do anything for me.... Give me a margarita with salt please!

Well, I will take your word for it. Now I just need an excuse to open the bottle and drink it! Any ideas what JW black goes good with?

Anyway, I thought the longer you kept it, the better it got. I know my dad has kept a few bottles of Crown Royal for some time. The ones that have been sitting at least 10+ years taste a lot better than it would if I just bought some off the shelf. Either that, or I just think it tastes better because its older. Oh well, time to booze it up!
