Ah - the 12 yr Glenmorangie with the different finishes - love those! My all time favorite scotch so far. I like the Maderia finish better than the Port, and I like the Port better than the Sherry.

Can't wait to get another bottle of that


Bing Bing Bing we have a winner. The Glenmorangie Maderia is my favorite too.

I recently bought a bottle of Balvanie 12 year two cask scotch, oh my it is good. Also try Abalour's Abunah which is a cask strength it is soooo smooth and tasty.

Bikeman Water shame on you :shock: The only thing that should be mixed with good scotch is more scotch. 8) actual a little water is suppose to bring out some of the flavor.

Ravyn, My friend has a small two man powered Trebuchet that chucks a 2 pound weight 300-400 ft. It is fun, but not as cool as yours.


Something I found out today I find funny. In windows XP if you go to the display settings\appearance\advanced\click drop down for item select Active title bar, the font is Trebuchet MS
 
Careful, sonny!!! You could put somebody's eye out with that thing!!!

The Glenmorangie Maderia :cry: Can't afford it. :bigidea: But, if everyone on the forum chipped in a $1. . . It would be a Christmas Miracle!

LOL, I kid. I kid.
 
I wish I could share in these scotch talks...never had a good one before. Lotsa cheap stuff, but nothing worth mentioning, or remember the name for that fact lol

I started drinking Scotch when I turned 21. If you like cigars for all of the wonderful flavors then, you'll love Scotch. They have lots of books on the different distilleries and the differences between them. Tons of info online, as well. Check out: http://www.scotchwhisky.net/distilleries/ Study up now so, when you turn 21 and are able to afford good quality booze, you'll be good to go. :wine:

Cybrus, They are both speysides, but they are not what I think of a speyside. I always thought I didn't like Speysides because they are too smokie. These are not nore are they too peaty. They have a nice mellow flavor. the Abaunah is $55 and the Balvanie is $48. Both of these are Washington State prices with a heavy tax on them.

If people are interested in trying good scotch and there is a difference as I used to hate scotch (bad scotch that is) there is the Scotch Malt Whiskey Society [urlhttp://www.smwsa.com/calendar.html[/url]
I am not a memeber, but they have a tasting that is a lot of fun. Good dinner, 60 different scotches and last year 3 good cigars. I don't know what will happen this year in Seattle. It is well worth the 100 bucks for the night.
 
Hey Brenda, we could use someone helping out the scotch talks. Don't forget AmBack has a whole slew of forums here, so if you want to talk spirits, go over to Spiritus Fermenti and help out with the fun. :D

I've posted on the Spiritus Fermenti (not a lot of traffic there.)
 
That's true, because it helps the more people you get who know certain topics. Since I know mostly bourbon and rye, and not much else, I can't drive discussions on other things that much. We have a bunch of single malt aficionados, but they're not around enough to spend much time on that forum.
 
My favorite is McCallan 25.
I have a bottle that I have a glass from every once in a while. I can't really afford to drink as much of it as I want to!
So I always have a bottle McCallan 18 on hand to enjoy more often!

LOVE scotch!!
 
Macallan is really good. I can't really afford the good stuff for everyday drinks so, I drink The Glenlivet 12 year.


This isn't a Treadjack. . . really.

Sorry Bloof, but Brenda is right. I tried to spend time there, but it is too dead. Unlike the great group here.

I can't afford it either but I REFUSE to live without it!
 
My wife has been bugging me about spending money on cigars, wait untill I start spending it on Scotch too!
