Tell your pilot to fly you to St. Andrews, Scotland. Stay at the old course Hotel. There's a bar on the top floor that has over 300 kinds of Scotch. They'll educate you. Stay for a few weeks to try them all.
Don't drive.
and I thought I was a tight wadRegifted used scotch? Classy
If you don't like scotch, it's regifted one way or another. You hand the bottle to someone who appreciates, you reserve it and pour it for guests, or you pour the whole thing out for your dead homies. I don't see the problem. I guess it makes for an interesting decoration? I don't have a dedicated liquor cabinet.and I thought I was a tight wad
unless the recipient was an alcoholic. In that case I would guess they appreciated the gesture
Do you got a toaster oven so we can do some wings the right way? How about a kegerator with some lager? I'll sneak airplane bottles of vodka in my socks through your gate, so no need to waste the good stuff on me. We could kick it, talk about how Biggie and the Hawkeyes have influenced my rap career, and maybe start an online petition about recycling.What do you drink now? That would greatly influence any suggestion someone makes.
CSB: my liquor cabinet has around $4K worth of whiskey in it right now. Some of you are welcome. And I always share the food stuff with visitors. I’ll never understand the dusty bottle collectors.
Johnnie Walker Double black
Balvenie 14 year if I remember right. Double wood or something like that
McCallen 12 year is a cheap drinker.
Best one I've had is Johnnie Blue, good stuff

Can we still talk about my rap career?Or you can just drink 23 year bourbon with me.

Nope. That crap is NASTY.
Someone gave me a bottle of mid-grade scotch. I tried to like it... I really did... but good God, no. I regifted it.
I feel the same way about cigars.
or cut thru the bullshit and just go to Scotland and drink whisky. Anything worth a shit is single malt. It is all about the peat.You need to be 21, first....
Balvenie 14yr is the Carribean rum barrel finish. Double Wood is the 17yr. Blue label is very overpriced considering it’s a blend. Macallan 12yr is great for the price point.
Ok, glad someone knew the Balvenie - the one I've had was the 14 year, and it was awesome.
Blue label is overpriced, and it is a blend, but it certainly is delicious.
Macallan 12 is a stand by, along with JW Double Black.
What should a first timer try?
Chivas Regal or Macallan 12 yr.
For someone new to it - on the rocks, splash of water. Drink it quick, it's strong, let it sit, it mellows out with the ice melting. Enjoy!
This is great advice for a starter. Another suggestion for an early scotch drinker is Glenlivet Founders Reserve. It’s usually around $26-32 and solid for the price.
Herkster — have you had any of the heavy peat stuff from Bruichladdich? I have one bottle that me and a friend basically pull one drink from a year and call it the “tire fire.”
Another thing I’m out of and haven’t had luck getting in Iowa is Auchentoshan’s 21yr. Central City in DSM has had it before, but not consistently. That’s exceptional Lowlands stuff.
Start by drinking whiskey Manhattans, Cherry Manhattan Sweet to be specific.Nope. That crap is NASTY.

I can't stand peat. I don't know if people that prefer peat like the others, but Laphroaig doesn't work for me.
This is the only scotch in my liquor cabinet at the moment. It's an islay, so it's not for everyone.
Yeah, the 14 year is amazing. 18 year Abalour is pretty good, but pricey. When a Scotch has next to no aftertaste like the 14 it can be trouble. I've got several friends into the 12 double wood, but it's the rum cask that makes it smooth = 14 year.Ok, glad someone knew the Balvenie - the one I've had was the 14 year, and it was awesome.

I would suggest you never mention Japanese "scotch" if you visit Scotland.I'm not a big scotch drinker, but I have tried quite a few of the ones listed in this thread.
Here's a question for those of you that are really into it - what do you think of the Japanese stuff? I have a bottle of the Hakushu 12 which I think is made by Suntori. I think it is excellent.
