Scotch!!!!! (Really all things whiskey scotch or burboun realted)

[THCDDM4]

Ahh scotch, my other soul mate; the glass is never half empty as long as it has scotch in it.

I love scotch, and whiskey and lately there have been some stellar burbouns I have been finding.

My favorite daily drinker scotch is Sherry Casked 16 year old Oban. Sweet and supple at the head with ample notes of peaty moss and oaky verility.

Jameson is my favorite Irish WHiskey; you cannot go worng with the Jam-o. Ooooohh the 100 year old Jameson is absolutely spectacular, divine even; dancing to and fro on the palette with baryshnikov like grace and strength. Truly a whiskey to be inspired by.

I am quite intrigued lately by Glenlevits "Nadurra"; a cask strength glenlevit that is left unfiltered, and aged in American Burboun barrels for a distinct and bitingly rich character, truly an organic offering with massive peppery flavors, yet still embodying that sweet/creamy Gelnlevit taste/mouthfeel.

One of the latest creations from Rogue spirits (Oregon based brewery); is the Dead guy Whiskey, an ocean aged whiskey, with a smootheness I have yet to find elsewhere, almost as if it hovers above your taste buds and tickles them with a plethora of subtle yet intense flavors, and a splashy nuance of sweetness/smokiness. Rogues dead guy whiskey can truly be sipped neat and enjoyed by just about anyone & everyone, even those who have not yet aquired a penchant for the decadently sublime spirit. Mellow and delicious to the last drop.

Another very good, and off the beaten path Whiskey is Stranahans of Colorado, a very intensely sweet and sherry-like whiskey with strong fruity notes and lingering beet like bitter/sweetness.

Well, the scotch thread is off and running...

I've been sipping on some Dickel red label that I like, and it's cheap too! Might have a glass tonight with a stogie as a matter of fact.

I haven't gotten into all the high dollar whiskeys and scotches and see myself getting sucked down the rabbit hole of another hobby. I like the Dickel so I stick with that.

"A tickle of the dickel please..."

I have only tried Scotch twice and did not care for it. I have yet to try Irish whisky. I do like Bourbon however. My favorite is Elijah Craig and Knob Creek.

I'm a McCallan 21 man myself.

All The MaCallans are wonderful offerings. I drank a wee dram of the 30 year old fine oak MaCallan last evening. Delightful...

MacAllan 12 is the baseline by which all Scotch is measured. There are many better, and many worse, but I always make the comparison with ol' faithful.

Over the years, I've had a few good ones. Abelour is a hidden gem, for sure. Balvenie makes a number of good whiskeys, and their 21-year Portwood is one of my all-time favorites. Lagavulin 16 is an excellent, though increasingly expensive, offering. I've got a 25-year cask-strength Laphroaig sitting on my desk right now. It's vastly superior to the smoke-filled paint thinner that is the 10-year Laphroaig.

I once got to sample a 27-year cask-strength MacAllan. It was epic.

Bookers Bourbon =

123-126 proof, single barrel for as pricey as it is and as strong as it is it's not an "everyday" type whiskey but it's damn good!

I'm a big Bourbon fan also. Bookers, Knob Creek, Elijah Craig 18yr old are all good. My favorite though is Makers Mark. They actually just came out with a new bourbon called Makers 46. It's really nice and smooth.
