Scotch

[jpc]

I only drink it straight and warm, maybe with a dash of water. There are some nuts who import rocks from the area in Scotland that corresponds to their whisky, and freeze the rocks to use as ice.

It's not the same without the sheep-shaggin' and the haggis...

scotch tastes like sh!t...not sure what the appeal is. This is coming from a guy who will eat and drink anything...except scotch

I wouldn't know anything about that. I couldn't find my bottle of Tres Generaciones.

Thanks, now I gotta go change my damn pants.

Last september I was in Mexico. It was an all inclusive resort and that meant including top shelf. One night the bar tender and I proceded to taste every single tequila they had. I lost count at 22. I think I probably drank 5 bottles of tequila in the week I was there. I am going again in January and can't wait.

Thanks for your wonderful contribution to this thread. I'm sure we're all taking a minute or three to reflect upon scotch and whether or not we should go on drinking it.

cheers

Before we go any further... Let's just get one thing straight!

It's pronounced Glenmorangie... It rhymes with Orangie.

Now that you know how to say it... All thats left... is to enjoy it!
(said in my best Scottish accent)

Drat... I just went to find a link and discovered their website has changed! They used to have a little sound clip of someone explaining how to pronounce the name. Regardless -- It's a tasty scotch.

I had always preferred the "lighter" scotches -- with little taste such as Glenfiddich. I picked up a bottle of Laphroaig 7 or 8 years ago, and after struggling through the first couple of glasses, the world of peat opened up to me! I now love peaty scotches much better.

Damn you all.. I am going to need to pick up a couple of bottles of scotch tomorrow... It's been too long since I've sat back with my pipe and a few glasses....

Where is this place?

back to the OP: I acquired a taste for Scotch on a cruise SWMBO and I took last year. We found a cool bar tender from Bulgaria and I said surprise me one night and she gave me a Glennfiddich 12 neat. Said it was what she drank. I used to love vintage Port, but now I have a new vice, hehe.

depending on the scotch, I will drink it. However there are times with too much peat, Caol Ila, and I don't dig it. I like American better on the whole, not the sweet, because of the (lack of a better word) cleanness of it. I find that Scotch has more intrigue, but I think that American Whiskey and Bourbon are more interesting. Also, tradition is great but there are some amazing ways to make things better in life.

I love Scotch. I almost love Irish Whiskey more. I try to keep a bottle or two of anything reasonably good on-hand at the house, but unfortunately I tend to partake in drinking it rather than waiting for company to come over to serve it to.

Johnnie Walker Black is the house blend I go to, then usually Glenfiddich 15 Year single malt, and Readbreast 12 year Irish Whiskey (if I can find it).

Lagavulin.

That is all.

I'm with you!

Just a couple of inches left in my last bottle...
