Not huge but it does have a few good ones in it.

I see five whiskys and one whiskey.

Do you know the difference?

Dalmore, love that stuff.

I have no idea. It would be nice to learn a little something about spirits. I am a complete novice with that stuff.

Scotch = Whisky
Irish Whiskey = Whiskey

If you read the bottles in his photographs (or could read the bottles) you'd see what I mean.

The term whisky is generally used for grain spirits that are made in:
Japan
Canada
Scotland
Wales

The term whiskey is for everywhere else including the United States and Ireland.

There is only ONE type of Canadian Whisky that is made using the "scotch" methods (from barley and distilled twice) and I'm proud to say it is made on CAPE BRETON ISLAND in Nova Scotia!

It's called Glen Breton Rare. It cannot be called "Scotch" since it is not made in Scotland.

Now that you got me thinking about it, I think I'll go have a dram!!

Rhum or rum is much better than whiskey or whisky.

I don't know much about scotch, but from what little I have picked up, it looks like you have a nice little collection of bottles.

Scotchy! http://www.killerclips.com/clip.php?id=140&qid=1929 Top left. I love a nice scotch for about 2 good medium sized pulls and then I've had enough. Like eating something too rich. For me, the reward tapers off quick, but I'm just not a scotch guy I guess. That 1st thrill is great though.

How do you like those 45 and 18 year Glenlivet? I have been meaning to give them a shot. The CVS Store in my town has some 12 year The Macallan on sale for about 39.00. I am gona pick up some of that for sure this weekend.

I personally prefer the 15 to the 18. Much better flavor. However, both are very smooth and are very good drank neat.

The 15 is great, and a lot cheaper than the 18.

[guado]

Macallen 12 isn't that bad though. I still keep meaning to try the 15 and 18

[bigsmoke]

I love all liquor! It is god's nectar!

[stjohnroe]

For a real knuckle dragging experience try la Fée Verte

[countnikon]

I actually found that 18 yo for $50. It was too good a deal to pass up.

I have such an awesome wife. She just bought me a Glenmorangie 12 yo Portwood Finish.

Has anyone ever tried Jon, Mark and Robbo's scotch whisky ? If not, buy a bottle and tell me what you think. I like it alot. One of the guys who makes it used to work at the Maccallen distillery.

I have such a hard time finding it now. If anyone see's it at the store let me know. We could work out a trade. You ship me the bottle, I will pay for it and the shipping and send you some cigars in return for your time.
