Cybrus and Vince both have good taste in scotch. Two they forgot is The Abalour Abounah which is a cask strength. very smooth very good $54. And a Glen Garoich $24.

Martin,

At $24, I assume that would be Glen Garioch 10? Have you had the 15? To me, noticably different (not just older) - I prefer the 15.

Don't feel too bad, he must have a great store. BevMo is about the cheapest around here and it is $70 as well.

I don't particularly like the 12 yr, but the 21 is very good! And my birthday isn't until March.

I pulled the cork on a Glenfarclass 105 Cast strength, @60% , thats 120 proof or better, a few drops of water in the snifter, swirl it & dump it out like the vermoth in a martini, fire up a Padron 64 Anniv. Principe natural & a big mug of Purvanian coffee roasted just past medium & not quite dark, dammmmm the taste buds were doing Back flips !!!!sad night , its all gone, need to get an other bottle !

Enjoy, Vince

Sounds fantastic Vince! I'm kicking back this evening with a mug of Tanzanian Peaberry - no cigar tonight, but hopefully find time for one this week.

I've tried Macallan 12 and have enjoyed it. Should I get a bottle or pony up and get a bottle of the 18 instead. I've tried the 12 neat, with water, and with ice, and have enjoyed it each way. Just haven't had the 18 yet.

Vince, what are your impression on Johnnie Walker Black as a starting point for getting into scotch?
