Scotch

Made it by the shop today and they were out of both the Laphroaig and the Lagavulin

But I did find a nice bottle of The Macallan Cask Strength.

Wow what a great taste!! Seems to be fuller in taste than the Glenfiddich 18 year I had last.

I enjoy these neat when I'm out for a drink:

Lagavulin
Oban
Auchentoshan


But the go-to is Laphroaig

I also enjoy Glenlivet French Oak is nice as well.

I enjoy The MaCallan 12yr but have not seen the "Cask Strength" Is it higher proof, less?

hi DeeDubya

the 12 year MacAllan is 86 proof

the cask strength is 116 proof, straight from the cask, non filtered and non-diluted

It packs quite a bit more punch and flavor, especially if you add a splash of water to open it up a bit

if you drink it neat, a little bit goes quite a long way!

Picked up a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label yesterday. Can't wait to try this with a cigar this evening.
Should be very tasty.

It's okay, but not a big fan of blended scotches...

Spend a little more and pick up the Craggenmore 12 yr - much nicer in my book!!!

Super Necro bump.

I have been dabbling in Scotch in this new year.

Tonight I had some The Balvenie. Very good.

I have found a very cheap, very good single malt Highland Scotch at Trader Joe's. It's a 10 yr old under their own label, but for about $20 - one of the best deals I've found. Very pleasant Scotch - I highly recommend it!

I'm really hooked on Dalmore. I have a bottle of King Alexander I occasionally dip into, but generally enjoy their 18 yr. Also picked up a couple of bottles of Dalwhinnie - also a bit of a favorite of mine.

DoubleWood? Jamie would approve.

Thanks,
I'll have to try it. Instead of water, I prefer to just pour it over the rocks and then let it sit and dilute just a little. Turkey 101 has always been a favorite of mine on the rocks.
