A very famous Scotch reviewer once described Laphroaig as "mouthfuls of clove, banana, butterscotch, burning tires, Sharpies, Band-Aids, and vinyl pool-toys"

C'mon, be honest. You ate paste, didn't you? [Coffee]

I am not a fan of scotch, as my palette is not refined enough to appreciate the flavors of Jolly Ranchers and dirt. I'm a bourbon guy, because I like my liquor in the same way I like my women; brown and a bit harsh. However, my boss loves Scotch, so we got her the Mac 20 (21?) for Christmas last year. She seemed to like it.

Balvenie - DoubleWood 17 yo ended up being the winner part because all the people who said it's good part cuse it was in the store I went too. But all this talk has me wanting to start being a scotch drinker thanks for the input everyone

One of my least favorite scotches. I was contemplating throwing the bottle out and a friend said he would take it. I still feel bad about giving it to him.

Johnny Walker Gold and Platinum are good but I actually like Green better and didn't care for Blue.

A couple others to consider.

Macallan 18 year (my favorite)
Dalwhinnie 15 year
The Dimple Pinch is a good blend

Note: I drink my scotch on the rocks which changes the flavors a bit.

LOL, I can only drink that stuff when it's freezing cold outside at elk camp.

I've been enjoying this nice Mexican scotch recently...

I do the same. The melting ice actually brings out the complexity of the flavors within the scotch. I used to get invited to the annual Johnnie Walker events and they had us try various single malt scotches from the different regions neat and with a little water so we could really notice the differences. Pretty cool stuff.

fitterjohn, I think your buddy will enjoy that gift. Maybe he'll share some with you? [Beer]
