    Oh yeah, I forgot, I've had Tullamore Dew a few times. It is tasty and really smooth.

    i never would have though a $10 irish whisky could be so good. picked up some tullamore on sale at the duty free shop in tel aviv.

    knobb creek has renewed my faith in the brownest of the brown liquors. i can't sip on any other bourbon without mixing

    it's funny nobody here seems to enjoy a good rye like crown royal or canadian club special reserve. sweeter and not as dry/woody as scotch but very nice nonetheless. much cheaper too

Or should I just stick to standard Bushmills and be thankful that I have cheap tastes?
    The next step up from Bushmills would be the Blackbush wihich is a single malt but still reasonably priced. If you want to get into Scotch (as opposed to Irish Whiskey) i have found Aberlour 10 a smooth drink that wont break the bank. And remeber: always neat.

    I have had some Speyburne Islay scotch that I really really liked. Not too sweet, and a nice earthy flavour.

    Maybe try 'John Powers' irish whiskey. It may even be cheaper than Bushmills but oh so good. I drink it regularly. John Murray (some refer to him as the worlds foremost whiskey authority) states that Powers whiskey is the best deal going.

    That aside, Recently I bought a bottle of MiltonDuff (http://www.thewhiskyguide.com/Speyside/Miltonduff.html) . About $50 and superb. It was gone before I really even got going with it.

    I just choose the 15 year dalwhinnie for my afterwork drink. Next up, probably a pyramid snowcap or 2, and then some 16 year Lagavulin. I would love to get my hands on a bottle of 18 year Macallan, maybe santa will make it a merry christmas.

    Heading to the Carribean tomorrow, so there will surely be a cuban cigar & duty-free scotch TR to come. Will the chimps in customs be fooled by the cigars without bands trick once again? Stay tuned....

    I spy a bottle of Bruichladdich in one of those photos, fine choice. Check out the laddie shop, and buy some futures (http://www.laddieshop.com/acatalog/Futures.html). That'll give ye some bragging rights. My mate back home is waiting patiently for his case of mixed futures to be bottled up, could be a few years yet before he gets them though.

    I'm no that big a fan of the auld single malt, but I do have a lovely 14yr Scapa that's about finished, very smooth so it is.

    2nd the john powers, its a steal and tasty. My preference is irish whisky over scotch right now, but i never turn it down as a few of my friends always have good bottles in stock at their house.

    Right now in my glass

    aberlour is sweet.

    had a bottle of 120 proof aberlour a'bunadh on new years.

    i have no idea how old it was though, says nowhere on the bottle or box but it was excellent.

    my roommate makes a grip of money and came home the other day with three 20+ year-old bottles. for the sole reason of "i don't have anything to spend my money on." good times

    Good skills Strode, you done a good job on that bottle, very fine choices, all Scottish malts are beautiful. However I reckon Islay really does ROCK, wee guys running round the islands peat bogs catching angels tears for us to drink. Anything out Bruichladdich, Bowmore, Caol Ila, or Ardbeg stables are perfection...............HAppy times
