TT: "I am there, bottle of obscurity in hand." wtf be more specific so others can plan around you.

I'll be bringing Dalwhinnie 15 and something so obscure that I don't even know what it is yet.

Good to see Bob showing up, whats up with the Daver?

PS: I generally don't like Macallen or Laphroaig, they both remind me of paint thinner (although I know most people would disagree).

lol, I don't have any whiskey glasses at all right now. I have champange, wine, and pint glasses, but nothing for the scotch

edit: I'm going out right now to pick up a Glenlivet 12 or 15, I'm leaning towards the 15

Wine glasses will work in a pinch. See if you can find some snifters at a local thirft shop somewhere close by.

You need glasswear that will concentrate the odor.

dude. standard glassware will not do. You must pimpify.

I will be bringing a few rocks glasses. If anyone prefers a brandy snifter, let me know. I'll bust out the Reidel if I have to, but since its so fragile (and expensive) I'd rather not travel with it.

riedel is unnecessary, but snifters >>>>> rocks glasses

Glenlivet is good.... very good in fact, but its so..... ordinary (high-end ordinary though). Not that there is anything wrong with that, but you should know just in case you were looking for something more exotic.

There will be no pinching. Too many men.

TT,

I provided a long list of reasonably priced scotches that would be a better choice than Glenlivet. Of course, nothing wrong w/ Glenlivet, but w/ some basic Balvenie and Macallan (which are both similar, but nicer than Glenlivet) in the mix, other choices would be better.

Cheers,
El Diablo

All,
At this point I have no idea what I am bringing but I will be reviewing El Diablos list and make an appropiate purchase and post.

OK KDAWG. Now you have both El D's opinion, and mine (a former owner of a NYS liquor license who specialized i Scotches and Tequilas). Glenlivit is good, but you can do better for this evening. Of course if you choose to keep the Glen on the program, there is nothing wrong with that.

well, I already bought the glenlivet. I got a 12. I just went with what I knew, of course, I may go out and buy another bottle tommorrow for posterity [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

edit: well, since I have to buy a couple bottles of wine for my saturday night's activities, I think that I am also gonna buy a bottle of talisker. I've had it before and like it, El D or TT, what would be the recomendation on how old I should get it(I can afford up to about $70-80)
