Champion  16151     Checkin' out the podium girls |  Subject: Scotchy, scotch, scotch.I was looking over the single malts today and came upon this lovely: http://www.whiskybase.com/whiskies.php?merkid=187&whiskyid=11556 43 years old. Distilled in 1963 during the Kennedy Administration and aged until 2007. It was marked down from $170 to $80. I asked the cashier, who called the owner and he confirmed he just wanted to move it. I think I'll mix myself a Scotch & Coke and try it out. More later after I've had a pour. Edited by pitt83 2011-09-06 6:14 PM |

Champion 16151 Checkin' out the podium girls | Subject: RE: Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Tasting notes: A warm, but not hot aroma. Front of the taste is a delicious complex caramel in the middle of the tongue which lingers then softens. More of a sherry finish and not the familiar peaty, oaky taste you expect from a Highland. Delicious and worth the money. |

Master 2802 Minnetonka, Minnesota | Subject: RE: Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Thanks for the post. It inspired me to have a wee dram of my current bottle - Aberlour - on ice in the hot tub. Nice cool MN evening with the stars out and a good scotch . Nice way to end the evening. |

Would you mind PM'ing me with where you found it? I'd happily make the drive in order to surprise him with it! Max's Package Store in the Flanders area of East Lyme. Not sure if he's got another bottle or not as this one was in the lock-up display case and I didn't see another one. I think they marked it down to move it and might not have another bottle. |

Yep, there's a season - it starts when it gets cool enough to close the windows, which at this rate is going to be in the next day or two! |

JoshFTG - 2011-09-07 7:00 AM mixing scotch with anything other than a few ice cubes is a sin I've gone from 4-5 cubes down to 1 and now and using a freezer chilled glass only. Never would I mix (notice the sarcasm font in my original post). |

Spring and Summer-- scotch with a few ice cubes, Fall and Winter-straight up |

Regular 78 Niddatal, Germany | Subject: RE: Scotchy, scotch, scotch.
It's a grain whisky, the stuff that is produced in a column still and not a pot still and is blended with single malts to produce blended whiskies. So, of course it's not peated, because is doesn't have to be made from malted barley that is dried over a peat fire. BTW, the Highland single malts aren't really famous for being peated. That's more the Island single malts and especially the Islay single malts. Edited by RGos 2011-09-07 8:35 AM |

Master 3195 Just South of Boston | Subject: RE: Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Love my 18 yr Macallan. Need to get another bottle, but holy crap is it getting pricey! Any good alternatives without the sticker shock? I usually have it w/ one or two ice cubes, and only from my special waterford crystal single malt sippin' cup |

Expert 1145 Ann Arbor, MI | Subject: RE: Scotchy, scotch, scotch. I think I'll snob it up a little here Putting ice cubes or any amount of mixer into a good (single malt or otherwise) scotch is like buying an expensive tri bike and riding up on the hoods all the time. You're defeating the whole purpose by diluting the taste. Instead, you should buy a cheap, smooth whisky, pour a ton of ice and coke in there, and send me all your good scotch. |

I usually have it w/ one or two ice cubes, and only from my special waterford crystal single malt sippin' cup I have a special cut crystal glass for my scotch too! No, there are just inferior products, unfortunately. A glass of water on the side. No cubes in winter, 1-2 in summer. |
