There are plenty of forums for hardcore wine and scotch snobs (or aficionados as they like to be called

), so I thought I would start a relaxed thread here for Rolex enthusiasts who also happen to be scotch enthusiasts.
Here's my tip for the day, Wild Scotsman 15 year old Vatted Malt Whisky is currently available from several sources at a closeout price, including the PA liquor board! It's a blend of 10 single malts that average 18 years old. No chill filtering and no added caramel or other coloring. A real craft whisky bottled at a lovely 46%. It also received an incredible 95/100 from Jim Murray's Whisky Bible. That's a fantastic of rating for an $80 scotch, and unbelievable of for the closeout $50 price tag. I picked up a few bottles.

Feel free to post your favorites, deals, tasting notes, etc.

Laphroaig and Lagavulin are my two favorites by far. I like heavy smoke and the Isle of Islay delivers every time for me.

I will have to check ABC locally!

rfknauss · 30 June 2010, 09:37 AM

Brian .... this is still my favorite!

Captainz · 30 June 2010, 09:49 AM

nice picture richard.

While we're here, what is the deal with Woodward ? I drink only vodka-based drinks, so I'm clueless. I took my best buddy out for lunch at Xmas time, he's pounding back Woodward at $11.00/shot. I could get Unicorn milk cheaper than that !

I've always wanted to go on one of those tours of the distilleries in scotland. anybody been?

Subfiend · 30 June 2010, 11:41 AM

I'm fond of anything Macallan, but I enjoy all types of single malts.

Art 1 · 30 June 2010, 11:50 AM

Plain old Chivas Regal for me.

Not a tour per se, but I did go to Scotland when I was 23 and could kick myself for not being as into scotch at the time

mpkRolex · 30 June 2010, 11:59 AM

any single malt aged 12 yrs or older..:) love the Glenfiddich and Chivas.

kenhiraihnl · 30 June 2010, 02:36 PM

Glenfiddich and Chivas for me too, but one of my friends gave me this Johnnie Walker. Good for scotch and water 'attitude adjustment' while watching the sun go down.

coreyharris · 30 June 2010, 03:52 PM

Glenlivet 21

MJCox · 1 July 2010, 07:10 AM

Glenmorangie 18 is one of my favorites. Michael

I prefer Irish Whiskey.

Much smoother & better for you!

Was in Midleton, IR last week & sampled some Jameson ... even brought back a bottle of Midleton - waiting for my cousin to open it!!!

I warned him how it needs to be sampled quickly - but he claims that once the bottles get opened, too much mysterious evaporation takes place?!?!?!?!

Johnnie blue for me.

Hansch99 · 3 July 2010, 05:15 AM

I like Balvenie DoubleWood for a treat, Dewar's for drinkin'.

AK40DJ50 · 3 July 2010, 10:06 PM

Johnny Walker Black as a blended whisky and Jura 16 as a single malt.

Mockingbird · 4 July 2010, 02:17 AM

Laphroaig!

I love Irish whiskey too, but it's hard to find an Irish single malt.

Whisk(e)y is my other vice.

I collect both American whiskeys and Single Malts

A few from the collection

Did someone say Macallan?

Went a few years ago to Glenkinchie. My only caveat:

Do not go on a distillery tour hung over.
