Oddly enough I just watch the documentary, Whiskey Cookers, The Story of the Templeton, Iowa Bootleggers, who during Prohibition started what was to become Templeton Rye. Enjoyed watching it very much.
Nice list there Jack, I like the look of your liquor cabinet
. My favorite single malts are Highland and Island, particularly Tallisker, Oban and Bunnahabhain.
I like Oban 14, never had the 18. If you like Oban than you probably would like Strathisla 12. I note a lot of similarities to Oban. Small distillery, now owned by Chivas Bros I believe & most of their product goes into blended Scotch. Hard to find.
I like a peaty Islay Scotch with a good charcoal grilled steak; think strong beef. Maybe with some strong yellow cheese or mixed nuts as an evening snack, or an after dinner pipe or cigar. I don't do the dark chocolate thing but I think a peaty Islay probably pairs well with it too.
) I have posted some about this ongoing trip in this thread. The folks on this thread have been very informative as to the plethora of choices. The adventire is very different than exploring beers. The cost to play is higher and the offerings, for me, are labeled and nuanced confusingly.
That thing is sweating like old dynamite!
You're now an honorary member of the Wild-Eyed Whiskey Drinkers of North America. Full membership is usually reserved until after your first full-fledged hangover.
After order confirmation (& credit card approved) that my order would be filled within 24 hrs, I got a cancellation notice almost a wk later. The excuse given was they no longer ship Spirits. Last I looked, their website has not been changed to reflect this fact. So I have put Michael-Towne Wines & Spirits, Brooklyn, NY on my blocked list.
I'm glad she does enjoy it with you, Eric. I don't think the quote was meant to be sexist.
Thanks Jeff but being honest, that's the Scotch drinks menu for a local bar. I carry it in my phone in case I run into a Single Malt that I don't know what it is.
Ok here goes!
That was a really amazing chart you posted, HJ. Between all of you guys’ advice and that of a friend of mine, I decided to try these two. Had to keep everything under 100 bucks.
