And Now, What's your Scotch?

Posted on 10/21/2009 6:34:53 PM PDT by Sax

I'm not saying this is the way it should go, but for me, it went bourbon as a young man, irish whisky as the taste developed, and then nestled into the scotch as the palate matured and settled down to a sipping type restraint.

Glenmorangie as the everyday benchmark, Laiphroaig for the smoky flavor, and Lagavulin for the best of that.

Not a Scotch drinker, but every serious and by that I don't mean discerning Scotch drinker did Dewers.

The people who make this have never released any terrorists. Excellent Bourbon with all the complexity of the Scotches you mentioned.

When someone asks “What kind of man are you?!?!?” I just say “I’m a whiskey man!”

I like Dalmore with just a small splash of water.

My buddy drinks Belvienne(sp?) and I haven’t seen him order anything else. Anyone here try it?

I hear that. It’s like being a beef guy; I like a ribeye, but I’ll go looking for a kick ass burger too.

No knock on Dewers, it’s like a staple, you can find it damn near anywhere, which is a good thing.
