Any other Scotch drinkers here?

As a young man, I was a Scotch drinker. My drink of choice was Glenlivet 12. On several occasions I was fortunate enough to have some 21 year old Glenlivet. One usually must acquire a taste for scotch and good scotch should only be taken straight @ room temperature.

I don't drink Scotch often but when I do its usually Glenlivet 12.

Here is the thing for all you potential Scotch drinkers out there... you want that "sweet spot" in price. Really cheap Scotch? Yeah, that tastes like rubbing alcohol. Really expensive Scotch? It might taste great, but you can't sit back and casually kill a bottle on a lazy afternoon unless you won the lotto.

I think that Bourbon, as an example, is always better with a splash of water or ginger ale, just a splash mind you. Scotch should be drunk neat whenever possible though. Maybe ice cubes if its broiling outside. You want to savor a good Scotch. If it needs to be mixed with something to make it palatable you don't need to be drinking it.

I'd love for you to send me you top ten favorite bottles of Scotch, and I'll get back to you with a ranking of them.

I always keep a bottle of Glenlivet and a bottle of Lagavulin. The Glenlivet 18 is really good, probably my favorite I’ve had, but I like the nadurra and 15 too.

The Lagavulin is good, but overpriced imo. I’ll probably stop buying it and just buy laphroaig which is also pretty good.

I drink mine neat typically, but if I have a cheaper bottle like Glenlivet founders reserve or 12, then I’ll make a cocktail like a Rob Roy.

No, I'm not a closet alcoholic

12 and 15 yr. old Genfiddich is good stuff, too. It tastes a little more buttery than Glenlivet and is a nice occasional change of pace.

Whatever’s cheapest at the bar minus musicians discount
