Don't turn your nose up at Irish Whiskey. Tullamore Dew is pretty tasty. (It is a blend)

I remember the first time I tried Laphroiag... Whoa! Certainly not everyone's cup of tea.

This past saturday night, I went out to a nice restaurant with my wife. While waiting on our table, I went to the bar and ordered a double Balvenie on the rocks. The bar tender eventually brings it to me, and I immediately noticed it was not what I was accustomed to, and quite frankly, it was not as smooth or as good as I was expecting. Then she brings me the bill. $60! For ONE GLASS of scotch! I understand for the better Scotch, this is not out of the question, and had I knowingly ordered an expensive Scotch, I would have been ok. Apparently, she gleefully poured my 2 shots of the 21 year Balvenie at $30/shot. Had I not been well into drinking it by the time I got the bill, I might have protested a bit more. I did explain to the manager that when someone orders something like that, it would be good practice for the bartender (who was not overly busy) to present the bottle and give a little information. This was a nice restaurant, and the practice is not something that is out of the question. I buy an entire bottle of Balvenie for $60, so I was quite shocked to find out the drink alone cost that. Either way, lesson learned on my part. Ask for a whiskey menu. That was a $60 mistake I will only make once.

the scotch is finished in a sherry cask for an indeterminate amount of time, has a wonderful color, and is very smooth. 80 proof. i'm going to the dc costco sometime this week to investigate further. frankly, i was amazed at the taste and the value is unreal.

I bought a Isle of Jura "prophecy" this week for New Years. It's heavily peated but not on the Laphroig or Ardbeg levels
It's actually really really good.
I have a 12 year Aberlour and a 17 year old Glenfarclas too

Macallan 12yr - can't go wrong
Sheep Dip (blend) - very different but worth a try. My favorite on course (flask) scotch
Oban 14yr - it's like dew from the nipples of angels
Balvenie cask strength - beats a bad day....anyday
Laphroaig 18yr (personal favorite)
Talisker - I've come to love the Storm
Dalwhinnie - fresh out the freezer is one of life's pure joys.
on the list of must try are the following:
Something from Cambeltown region maybe the Kilkerran
Bunnahabhain
Something from the Lowlands. I've had my eye on Annandale
And I'd like to try an Independent like compass Box

I'm drinking right this minute.
Has a fancy leather case.
After I finish this first drink I'll switch to the JW Platinum my lawyer gave me.
After that I'll go to Black.
It's 9 degrees here...

I like blended as well. Not sure if we are accepted here ; )
I like single malt but overall prefer the consistency and smooth qualities of a good blend (even if overall the experience is less complex) to the distinct characteristics of a single malt.
Johnny Black, rocks, splash of water. Boring, but dependable, nice buzz, no hangovers.

Amen. Scotch can have as many malts as possible as long as my head doesn't hurt in the morning.
Ive had some expensive and rare Single Malts over the year. Mostly good stuff but have been surprised at how the first sip of some have just almost locked my jaw.
If I were a rich man I'd have a barrel of JW Blue in my house.
I know a guy that has a barrel of Woodford Reserve in his vacation home. $10,000.00 bucks. Woodford delivered it to Florida along with a crystal bottle so he could take his own bottle out on the town. The rich live differently that the rest of us.

re: blends vs. single malts... it's all about your preference. let's not turn this into a forged vs. cast vs. blade vs. cavity back type of thread. as long as it's scotch, and you enjoy it, cheers!

Ha! People will argue whether blend has the same nutty smoothness as single.
Dewars! My starter scotch. I was the first of my friends to start drinking scotch and had no frame of reference. Interestingly enough, it was a chick who was like "what are you drinking that crap for?" And thus, a Johnnie Walker Black drinker was born.
Now, I like any scotch. As long as it's good. I prefer blend but sometimes order a good single malt after dinner.
