I usually don't buy scotch but for special occasions. When I do I like Lagavoulin. It has a very distinct peaty flavor that a lot of people don't like. It's a love/hate thing, but without a doubt my favorite scotch whiskey. Glenmorangie 18yr port wood is another favorite, but quite expensive. It's my best friend's favorite so we usually drink that together.
I don't agree that adding water improves the flavor. Once you get used to the potency of strong liquor there's no going back. I usually like a cube of ice to bring it slightly above room temp. To each their own though... if it helps you discern the different flavors and adds enjoyment I'm all for it. Just don't tell me you put it in Coke.
<edit> in the <$30 category nothing touches Aberlour IMO
Cheers
I polished off a bottle of 1980 Knockando the other night and the hangover was quite pleasant compared to a blended scotch......
The next morning my urine was golden and opaque instead of thick and treacly and I was able to eat a full english breakfast (bacon, egg, sausage, tomato, fried bread, black pudding and mushrooms) without heaving up.

This is a class malt.
Pinkie.
And you're a class act. Thanks for sharing (especially "thin and treacly") I don't know if I'll be able to hold down my friend eggs.
Thanks for the great scotch round-up, Tyson. I must try some of those. But you forgot my favorite. 100 Pipers. $7 a bottle. Cheap and effective. If I had to spend more an $10 a bottle, I'd be impoverished within the year.

I dont want to spoil the party but several members are battling alcoholism and I dont think this thread is going to help.
Dont flame me - I am just stating my opinion. Obviously I share your enthusiasm for a good drink but I think we can be more supportive to those battling alcoholism.
