Oban... thread over!
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.
Is there any better three words in the English language then "Single Malt Scotch"?
Mr. I's everyday preference is for Glenfiddich, whereas i'd opt on a blend for everyday and have a bottle of Dewars...
I prefer the 15yo Macallan. I have the 10 also and can really taste the difference. What does this Oban taste like? Is it "peaty" or smooth like Macallan?
For me - any three words. I can't stand scotch. I've tried and tried but it just tastes like dirty ass to me.Is there any better three words in the English language then "Single Malt Scotch"?
GlenLivet 12 is also my everyday house whiskey. But when I'm 'drinking' It's Lagavulin. I love the smokiness. The first sip is strong but then it settles in so nicely..almost tastes like a campfire. If you have not tries this one you are really missing out. But give it about 5 sips before making your decision. It's a controversial taste but is my fav.
Others are Oban, Macallan 18, Balvanie 15, Highland Park.
Yes the difference between a 10 y.o. and 12 y.o and 18 y.o. is very apparent. I'm pretty desperate when I drink a 10 y.o.
When Highland Park is $39 at BevMo, it's my everday drink.
Oh dear lord.... d-d-d-d-DEWARS w-w-w-w-white label. The name alone starts me trembling. I can't even have it in the house anymore. It's a love/hate relationship: I LOVE drinking it, but hate waking up at 4am in the neighbors rosebushes with my pants around my ankles. Seriously, with the first gulp that witches brew lays waste to my self control.
