I also am a lover of scotch. Glenfiddich is my preference. Mmmm, love how it warms going down.

**dk_alaskan** · 06-14-2007, 11:18 PM

Arbegg for the campfire experience, Springbank 30 if you have the $$$$, Speyburn 10 for a GREATLY underated single malt for cheap. Fiddich, meh, LIvett, meh, they are ok, but there are many better for the $$ (sorry to burst your bubble SF-i will buy you and GFP a drink next time i am in the neighborhood)

Closed on the house I was selling today. Check is in the fedex from the title company. So I went and bought a bottle of Lagavulin 16... I can't tell if I like it or Talisker better. Guess I'll have to keep drinking until I can figure it out.

I've been working on a bottle of this for the past 2 months. Good stuff. Of course I've gone thru about 3 handles of JW Black in the same 2 months.

Superstition is great stuff. I ran across it for the first time about 2 years ago. Not very fancy but really tasty. I'm also hooked on Woodford Reserve Bourbon. I'm getting thirsty, and it isn't even 10am yet

There was a show on one of the HD channels last night about a bourbon bar and doing all of this bourbon tasting. They had me sold on one distiller's 15 and 23yo's but I guess I'd had enough scotch and smoked a few bowls so I can't remember what the name of it was. Anyone else catch this show?

Thanks. So clearly an Isle of Jura production with rebranding for the younger generation.

Might look into that, despite making me grumpy, I'm a sucker for re-branding.

Like liquid gold it was

While in Ireland this summer I drank quite a bit of Tullamore Dew with the locals. I find it to be smoother than Jameson and it's not too expensive.

**sfotex** · 12-07-2007, 08:32 AM

Shit. Just got paid and my supply is running low. Time for a trip to the 'ol state liquor store.

**smolakian** · 12-07-2007, 08:55 AM

Allright, I need some help guys.

I'm not a scotch conniseur. But, I do appreciate good grog. (I brew beer and I could talk about it for days)

I haven't really drank much whiskey straight in my time...(I'm only 26 and It still must have had a bad association with college) But, last summer at a friends wedding I had some Talkisker 18 year (Yes it was awesome). Then, I ended up finishing a bottle of Bushmills 2 moths ago with my uncle and cousins before going to the Steelers Broncos game. I had never had Bushmills before and I really enjoyed it. I know Bushmills isn't a top shelf even among blends. So, I went to the liquor store to expand my horizons. I didn't want to spend any money on a good bottle just becuase I don't wanna buy something that I don't like. So, I went safe and decide to buy a cheap bottle of something that might be a small upgrade to the bushmills. So, I went with Johnny Walker Black. Yeah, I've had Red (usually as shots or a mixer) and I've tasted Blue (before I appreciate the taste of scotch). But, while I can drink it, it just doesn't do much for me. I'm not sure what about the taste, I don't like. But, it was a disappointment.

So, if I really like Bushmills. What is the Scotchy direction that I want to go in? I've seen Bushmills 12 and higher at a few bars. I've never tried and I don't recall seeing it at liquor stores around. Is there a good $30-$40 dollar bottle of Scotch that might be a Bushmills upgrade. Or should I just stick to standard Bushmills and be thankful that I have cheap tastes?
