Scotch, anyone?
Anyone else a Scotch fan?
For SIngle Malt, I prefer:
or
(Or, both in an 18 or 21 year).
For blends:
How about you guys? any reccomendations?
I'm pretty new to the scotch world... all I can tell ya is that I definitely prefer single malt over blended, and McCallan 18 has been my favorite thus far.
i agree i much prefer single malt...one down side to scotch is that it can be pricey to get drunk
I enjoy whiskey in all in its forms, may it be single-malt, blended, even bourbon.
Green Label over Blue Label IMHO. But Black Label isn't bad for day to day.
Talisker 10 Years for single malts.

i drink alot of whiskey, my favorites are the islay single malts, laphroaig, lagavulin, bowmore and caol Ila
i do keep a bottle of macallan 18 and glenlivet around for those days where im not in the mood for a strong peat
recently i have discovered a new islay called smokehead which is intensely peaty, as in i just had to go out and buy some Cohiba Sigolo's just to complement the richness of that whiskey
as for blends, the only one i would say i enjoy would be the peat monster, again super smokey and peaty.
i drink alot of jamesons, its my everyday large quantity whiskey as its super cheap.
another single malt to try is one distilled in cape breton novascotia called the glen breton, commercially its only avalible in a 10 yr but at the distillery you can get a 15 and 16 year for about 190 bucks for a small bottle.... totally worth it.
I'm not a big scotch drinker unlike my father who keeps trying me out on these crazy unusual ones he digs up from distilleries that have gone out of business.
I was on a flight a few years ago where they served Johnnie Walker Blue Label and after all the hoo-haa I heard about I did try it...with Coke. Just because.
I have since tried it neat and it was a bit too unconventional, preferred Black Label for a more regular hit of whisky.

ughh
my dad drinks it. i usually buy him a bottle of 21 year old glenn livet for xmas every year.
and my former boss used to drink macallan 12 all the time and swore by it.
i will never acquire a taste for that stuff omg
johnnie black please. and johnnie blue for special occasions 
I got myself a bottle of good ol' Drambuie, which ought to get me going at the party later on tonight. I'm not really familiar with Whisky, so let's see what that baby does to me.
I was born in the same year, in the same place as this (the distillery is the other side of the park from my house):
The most northerly distillery on the Scottish mainland.
Oh yeah and trivia factoid, Alexander Keith (Keith's Beer) was born here too.
So how many of you mix this stuff?
great suggestions, and my favorites have already been mentioned. I dont mix it, straight up, especially if it's single malt. But i always drink it with no ice or water.
I don't personally, a bit of luke warm water, and that's it. But to dump coke into a single malt? It's like having the Olsen twins at your mercy and just going for a cleveland steamer.
3 or 4 small pieces of ice... a small splash of water... and rub a lemon peel around the lip of the glass.
i won`t get into a diatribe about which scotch is best...all i can say is welcome to the jesus of liquor.
what i will say is never pay too much from a bottle from let`s say 1945, because whiskey/scotch only ages in the barrel and not the bottle.
happy travels.
also ice = water.
single malt love needs none.
