Need a Good Bottle of Scotch

I think I'm a little late on this one, however, Balvenie 14 Carribean Cask and the Balvenie 17 are extremely smooth. The 14 is finished in a rum cask while the 17 has that soft maturity of a 17 single malt.

This bottle is special. Something about it. It's gonna be a couple decades before this is gone.

@thanksajdotcom nice suggestion. I went and picked up one along with a few others this week.

Uhm, strange. Imported from the UK to the US, but the big red label on the leftmost box says "Bruchgefahr" in German ("Handle with care")

@larsen161 said in Need a Good Bottle of Scotch:
@thwr the boxes on the left are The Glencairn Glass from Stölzle. Not sure what you mean by imported to the US though, they are all in the UK from the UK.
Nevermind, just noticed that you are in the UK
Most users here are from the US, that's why I thought you're from there too. Stölzle is a German company, so that makes perfect sense. -
@thanksajdotcom That is good, but you you find that Smokey, you may want to avoid anything that says Islay on it.

I'm not a fan of smoky, peated Scotches. But I have discovered that Balvenie makes some amazing, non-smoky whiskies. Their 12 year, double wood, and Caribbean cask are all excellent.

I'm a fan of any 18 year old scotch, really. Macallen is one of my favorites. Dalwhinnie is great. I recently fed Scott some Johnnie Walker Gold label, though, with no complaints.

McAllen 12 is my go too, but I am slowly getting pulled to Laphroaig especially if a good cigar is involved.

<threadjack> Have you tried Nubs? I'm a big fan of them, and I really love all of the Oliva cigars, especially the V torpedoes.

@Grey I have and they are good. My current favorite go to stick is the Don Peppin Cuban Clasic My top shelf stuff I try to keep in the humidor is the My Father Flor De Las Antillas, The My Father Le Bijou 1922, and a good LFD Chisel tip.

Laphroaig makes you cry inside a bit.
Strange, it just makes my beard grow thicker
Laphroaig Quarter Cask, best bottle under $100
Schnay! I say, schnay! Laphroaig 10yr. Cask Strength, a.k.a. "Red Stripe".
Edit: Although the Quarter Cask is indeed dandy.
