i called the new liquor store in town and asked how his scotch selection was and he said VERY GOOD, VERY BIG so i asked if he had ardbeg and he said 'could you spell it' and then 'no'

"Very good, very big" means they have Johnny Walker. The answer you're looking for is, "Man, you'll just have to come down here and look....there's a bunch."

I like Laphroiag. 10 year is good, 1/4 cask is better. They are both essentially what you'd get if you took a stack of bog-mummies, pressed them, and drank the squeezins.

I drink Laphroaig when forced into a Scotch corner but since I don't enjoy drinking any more I usually just go ehhhh faggily and wave my hand around

THey make a pretty good rye, too.

Basil's is pretty good, but if you want really good bourbon, Jim Bean also makes Booker's. It's a variable proof, unfiltered, straight from the bottle whiskey and it's drat good.

I always forget which whiskey is whiskey and which is whisky.

I had a glass of Pappy Van Winkle before it became The Thing and there is no better brown thing on earth.

Well maybe a few. But not liquid ones.

And not turds.

E in the country's name = whiskey; Ireland, America
No E in the country's name = whisky; Canada, Scotland, Japan

Of course England spells it the same way as Scotland (no E), and I don't know about other countries.

I actually like Prichard's Double Chocolate more than Pappy. Pappy is great and everything (15 year is my favorite), but the super subtle bitter chocolate flavor in that Prichard's is just fantastic. Not to mention it's affordable and you can usually find it online.

Laphroaig

I don't know anyone who's tried Laphroaig and liked it. My brother-in-law bought be a bottle a couple of birthdays ago -- having never tried it -- because he knows I enjoy scotch. Unbelievably foul. This Christmas, he says to me, "Hey have you ever had Laphroaig? It's awful."

If anybody wants to become a scotch drinker, go here:



Wood, honey...nice and warm. One or two ice cubes and a small splash of soda. Bam.

If you think the quarter cask is good try to get your hands on a bottle of cask strength. It's got a bit more of that medicinal-iodine and seashore flavor.

If that's a bit much flavor for some folks there's always Clown Royal.

Shieldaig is a bottling company that sells cheap scotches that are supposed to resemble the regions they're named after. I'm trying their "Islay" tonight.

most glenfiddich is notably average, but try the 15 years solara, it's divine (speyside)

dalwhinnie 15 years is also very good (highland)

caol ila 12 years for that intense peat flavour (islay)

cardhu gold reserve for a more bourbony experience (speyside)

for bourbons I have

buffalo trace cheap and heavenly

maker's mark good with more bite and less sweetness

also; either strait, rocks or splash of water you fucks. use something cheaper and possibly blended if you simply want to mix (johnny walker black is very good for that)

Had some great scotch the other day that tasted like chlorinated water drunk from a dirty ashtray. I was told it was very expensive and therefore quality.

Scotch Hitler.

Soda = water with some carbon dioxide dissolved in it, nothing more. You put an ice cube in your scotch? Now you've added water to your scotch. Settle down, it's perfectly acceptable.
