The single malt scotch thread

**GregDM** · June 21st, 2007, 02:12 PM

Just wondering who drinks it and what your favorites are.

A few I like (though I still have many to sample):

Highland Park 12 yr
Macallan 12 yr (or more years if I can get it)
Glenmorangie (port wood)
Balvenie (10 yr reserve or 12 yr doublewood)

Another vote here for Oban.... it is awfully good.

At the lower-end price-point 10-12 year, Glenlivet was my first--and is still my house whisky. Some may disagree, but it really appeals to my tastes. I can't keep that **** in the bottle!!

I'm big on Cognac over the past few years, so my Scotch vocabulary has taken a big hit.

This thread and the wine thread (not to mention all the jazz threads) make me feel so... unsophisticated.

OK, guess I'll have to invest in a bottle of Oban.

Mr. I's everyday preference is for Glenfiddich, whereas i'd opt on a blend for everyday and have a bottle of Dewars... if i'm going to go single malt though, i'd stick with my trusty (jiri tlusty) Macallan 12.

considering your recent dips into cognacs, it's no surprise that you'd prefer Glenlivet.... actually, it's a pretty good indicator of you personal palate.
