Re: Scotch Tasting (NY/NJ)
I predict that most of the participants will taste each scotch twice, with the second tasting having distinct notes of bile and stomach acid.

Re: Scotch Tasting (NY/NJ)
Yeah, in fact I have a bunch of bottles that I will never finish anyway. I have some Bowmore, Talisker, Arbeg 10-year old (which is my favorite), Macallan, a few others. I also have a bottle of Johnnie Walker Gold in my freezer.
Can we include bourbon just to break up the monotony? |

The Islay malts are the best ones IMHO.

Re: Scotch Tasting (NY/NJ)
I agree about Islay, although Id include Highland Park and Talisker into my favorites.

Re: Scotch Tasting (NY/NJ)
These are very good, only Macallan is a favorite, provided it's the 18-year old. The 12-year old Macallan is a fine well-balanced scotch, but nothing special IMO. I only have two bottles right now, Isle of Jura 10-year old, which I hate, and Bruichladdich 15-year old, which I absolutely love. It's a fairly unknown Islay malt, a bit less punch than the rest, but marvellously complex, well-rounded, and with a great lingering finish.

Have you tried the 25? WOW. Its expensive as hell... but one bottle for special occasions... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] The higher aged Glenlivets are pretty good too. My GF runs a bar here in boston and Glenlivet has events there a lot. They have some great stuff. |

Re: Scotch Tasting (NY/NJ)
I only dream about the 25 year old. One day... Haven't drunk a lot of Glenlivet, no, only some cheap one which was too tame, IIRC.
