Gonna be visiting a friend on the 15th and I want to get two bottles of whiskey to taste.. Since I don't really have a refined pallet and he is mostly used to his johnny walker black habit im going basic. probably gonna buy: Highland Park 12yr (750ml) for 39.99 @ Bevmo Doublewood Balvenie Scotch 12yr (750ml) for 41.98 @ Bevmo Others I have considered: Yamazaki 12 year, Oban 14yr, or a redbreast. (willing to spend between 40-60$ a bottle) This isn't a big occasion. I can travel to anywhere near San Francisco to pick something up if its cheaper than vanilla Bevmo prices.

NightConqueror posted:I've tried the Yamazaki 12, and I can confirm its pretty good, especially for the price (which is like $40, here). It has no smoke to it, so it's not really like a scotch, but its got a similar flavor profile to the Highland Park 12. It's weird, there's no doubt about that. Thanks for the incite. I think im gonna go with the original picks. I want to be able to taste different but similar nuances of flavor. I haven't tried any scotch besides copious amounts of johnny walker black.

Got Highland Park 12, Balvenie Doublewood 12 and a Glenlivet 12.. Cant wait to taste them all.. I've only had Johnny walker black as far as Scotch is concerned.. Anybody have advice on sitting down and trying all three in slow succession, one after the other. I've read somewhere here that coke can help clear the pallet in between tasting drinks.. I think taking breaks in between should rest the taste buds enough right?

Bought this on a whim for $20 at Safeway tonight and was pleasantly surprised. Nice and mellow fruity Single Malt with complexity. Anyone else give this a try?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRJowj18Lq0
