A question to those of you who like Scotch Whisky…

Not that I drink whisky all the time lol but Famous Grouse is pretty good as an everyday whisky just over ice or even neat, and isn't so expensive least in the UK that it's wrong to use it in a cocktail either.

For single malts, either Laphroaig (quite peaty, slightly iodine-y Islay - if you can picture a lone piper playing on an island shoreline while in the background are people gathering up seaweed, it tastes like that image) or Royal Lochnagar (Highlands, not necessarily sweet but a very powerful 'fruitcake' flavour which I really love

I hardly ever drink. Yet it wouldn't be a Scotch or whiskey. I favor cognacs if anything.

Now what type is dependent on tastes and costs. I can't afford the better cognacs. Yet Hennessy I find fairly good.

I never go "super expensive" when I buy alcohol.

My "splurge" brand of Scotch is Oban "Little Bay." Oban's "regular" Scotch is a lot more expensive, but I have tasted it and it is excellent. (We're talking the difference between about $50 and $95)

I also like the "story" of that distillery. It is a very small operation (I think seven people run the entire place) located in the small remote village of Oban on the West coast of Scotland.

They have an interesting website:

I have always favored the light fruity taste of Chivas Regal. I have also tried two tastes of Glenlivet and noticed that one was tasty and this other one is taking forever to finish which is not necessarily a bad thing. At 65 the less I drink the better lol

Bijoux, if you are looking for a really nice gift, I suggest a bottle of single malt. For somewhere around $50-$80 you can get a very good bottle of Glenmorangie. (Rhymes with “orangey”). Look for one that has either a “port finish” or a “Sherry finish”. I guarantee this will be appreciated!

My favourite whiskey is actually single Irish malt. My everyday whisky is single malt scotch,
I buy it from a trade cash & carry for around £17.50 (inc VAT) RRP is about £22

I don’t drink ,

Thought I’d say hello .
It’s funny ,

Relevant ale:
If you enjoy peated whisky, as well as stouts / porters, look for Mikkeller's Black Hole peated whisky barrel-aged stout

Not a scotch drinker but I've enjoyed Glenlivet.

On a humorous note, this looks intriguing 🤭🤭

Not a big fan of Scotch, have had Dewars and Johnny Walker Blue. Prefer bourbon or American style whiskey

Scotch was my first whiskey at 18 and I started with J&B. Now, generally, the best I can afford is Johnny Walker Black.

I never cared for Scotch, but my dad did; "Haig & Haig Pinch Scotch Whiskey".

My kids keep me supplied with Johnny Walker Blue. For a gift? Go with a single malt.

I usually go for Islay malts. Lagavulin is a favorite.

Only actual scotch I've had instead of like a bourbon whisky was Johnnie Walker

Talisker, Glenfiddich...Don't drink too much of either anymore though.

so many to choose from....lagavulin, macallan are a couple that come to mind

My bf loves a good quality single malt

The Famous Grouse is probably better than Jack Daniels

For casual drinking, nothing fancy, Aberfeldy single malt or the sexton single malt Irish whiskey.

Jameson and Powers..two good Irish Whiskeys.
Monkey Shoulder,a Scottish fave of mine is good too

Laphroaig, Talisker or Highland Park please

Dewars

Oban!

Glenfiddich 18 Years
Aberfeldy 16
MacCallan Ocean blended

Mccallan
Balvennie

Cuervo Gold 🤓

Don't care for scotch

McClellan's Islay or Highland are my usual go to.

Lagavulin, Ardbeg, and Balvenie
