    Just finished my bottle of 18 year Glenfiddich.

    Going to the store tomorrow to pickup either the Lagavulin or the Laphroaig.

    I picked up another 4 bottles of Laphroaig yesterday. Not quite as nice as the Lagavulin but a local store had a great deal on it.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Monkey Shoulder is an excellent blended Scotch that is now available over here stateside. It is $35 a bottle here in PA and I highly recommend it.
    Yay! Cigars!

    I picked up a bottle of this today. I'm excited to try a splash later.

    ETA: This was pretty tasty!

    Yep, can't go wrong with Monkey Shoulder. AVB on CP highly recommended it and quite a few guys over there really enjoyed it. I got it once before in one of the Scotch buys, this was before it was released stateside, and was glad when they brought it over here.

    Glad you enjoyed it!
    Yay! Cigars!

    Picked up a bottle of Laphroaig 18yr and Highland Park 12 and had a splash or two of both.

    Wow. Wow. I'm really enjoying this peaty side of the spectrum.

    Continuing down this path, I picked up a bottle of the 10yr Ardbeg today. Smooth and delicious.
