What is your favorite Scotch Whisky - Page 14

Newbie_nick · 12-31-2011, 05:46 PM

Either Macallan 12 or Aberlour 12 for me. I guess that I haven't tried anything more expensive than that!

Abelour A'bunadh - regular drinking scotch.. just great
after that..
Glenfarclas Cask Strength is really good for a regular drinking scotch.
then..
Laphroaig 10 Cask Strength
Lagulavin 12 Cask Strength
then maybe Macallan Cask...

I pretty well like them cask strength.

For something that has been diluted.. Glenrothes.. like their 1985 or 1991. Loved the 1974.. but can't get it any longer. Add Glenfarclas 21 as well.

Garbandz · 01-07-2012, 01:02 PM

Talisker and Springbank,especially the Springbank 10 year 100 proof.......

I am also a Scotch noob. I have only tried a few different bottles.
In order of preference:
Balvenie Doublewood 12yr
Glenfiddich 15yr
Glenfiddich 18yr
Glenlivet 12yr
Glenfiddich 12yr

The only one that I drink on a consistent basis is Balvenie Doublewood 12yr. Just haven't branched out yet to any of the others.

I would really be glad for some recommendations from others that like DW on what to try.

If anyone finds a good deal on Highland Park 18, shoot me a message please

Fairly new to scotch. Currently I've tried Talisker 18 and 10, Edradour 10 and Dalwhinnie 15. LOVE the Talisker, and looking for my next adventure in smokiness.

If you like the Talisker 18, the easiest recommendation is Highland Park 18.
Also, check out Islays. Laphroaig Quarter Cask and Ardbeg 10 would be an inexpensive exploration, Both are more smokey and medicinal than Talsiker but yummy in their own right.

don't have a Costco in the town I'm in, in the Midwest. But last weekend at the Costco near Manhattan Beach in LA they had 16 yr Lagavulin for $65.

Picked up some The Glenlivet The Nadurra. It is cask strength and you can definitely tell! But after that subsides nice, sweet honey taste.

Picked up a bottle of Highland Park 15 yo that I'm trying tonight. Never had Highland Park before. Hope it is worth it.

A few drops of the water in the Nadurra really opens things up.

HP 15 is good, but the 12 and 18 really shine IMO.

I've heard the 18 is really good. I will have to try both.

You are right about the Nadurra. I add some water to all scotch.

dwoodward · 02-11-2012, 11:39 PM

Currently it's a bottle of Macallan 12yr that I am almost done with. I think I liked the 10yr better tho.

Sounds like you prefer that oak better than the sherry cask offerings.

Macallan makes a 12, 15 and a 17 fine oak variety as well....

My new favorite Lagavulin 16

Been meaning to try it. I have found the new Johnny Walker Double Black to be a pleasant surprise especially when you consider the low price point.
