Any Scotch Drinkers?

[PowderAddict]

So I found out awhile back I have a severe gluten intolerance, which basically means no more beer for Powderaddict

However, I found out I can drink most distilled liquors, as the distilling process removes the gluten from the liquor. Lately I've been trying different kinds of Scotch, and really enjoy it. So, I thought I'd share my favorites, and if there are any Scotch drinkers please share your favorites as well, I need to expand my horizons. I've found I really like the Single Malts the best.

My favorites so far:

The Balvenie 12 year double barrel. Great flavor, very smooth. I'd put in all the fancy descriptions if I knew them .

Oban 14 year. So far, my favorite. Every drink is truly a treat, this bottle was a hit with everyone that tried it. I'll be buying another bottle soon I'm sure.

What I really like about these is that you can tell the distillers really take pride in their product. It doesn't taste mass produced for maximized profits, but rather like they care about the experience and final product above all.

So, your turn, what are your favorite Scotch Whiskys (or other preferences if you like)??

I take pride in being Irish.

although i really need to get more into the scotch and whiskeys...my favorite whiskey is probably Crown Royal. I know it's Canadian, but that's one thing they know how to make well... whiskey. I've tried that other Canadian whiskey as well (i think it even has canada in the name) and it was good too.

at the same time, i'm a huge spiced rum fan. but if you give me any of the these with Coca~Cola mixed in, I'm a happy camper.

also i think chazoe would appreciate this, that I'm a HUGE white russian fan. man those are soooo good. And I make a pretty mean and tasty one if i do say so myself. But luckily I've made enough for friends to not have to say so myself

i wouldn't have a problem with finding out i can't drink beer.

i'm more of a fan of liquor anyway. Rum, whiskey, vodka.... the major players I guess. Also I'm not ashamed to say that I don't mind mixed drinks. some might say they're girly but... not if you put enough alcohol in them!

i just wish i could afford some good bottles of the good stuff.

in fact. thanks Powder. you made me have to get up and make myself a Rum and Coke. lol

:salute!:

I too prefer something that you can tell was made with pride.










Sorry about the glutens... that's rough. Lots of changes in your diet now.

Scotch is like wine and cigars... I always figure eventually I'll learn more about them and the varieties... but I never do.

Maybe I'll pick up one of the aforementioned scotches you recommended.

there's nothing better than a good hard whiskey or rum and a cigar!

Jamesons, which is an irish whiskey, is super good too.

My 1 year old son's middle name is Jameson, that is a good whisky.

Thanks for the suggestions, keep them coming!

I discovered today scotch and water in a flask is great while sitting on a chairlift very refreshing, and relaxing.

Bottoms up!

Just read about a limited high end Scotch called Black Bowmore Islay, which costs $3,850 (not incl .tax) for a 750 ml bottle (which is 3/4 of a litre...and if you are not into ml's or litres, it's equivalent to a standard bottle of liquor. And if that doesn't help...it's $280 for a shot!!!)

It's a single malt whisky. Here's some tasting notes:

Almost ebony in colour, with incredible aromas of exotic fruits, ginger and cinnamon. The palate is rewarded with hints of ripe mango, toffee and dark chocolate with the faintest hint of the smokey Bowmore signature. The finish is luxurious, creamy and warm.

Enjoy......but bring lots of cash!!!
