Single Malt Scotch Whisky

[danthepoetman]

Absolutely Dan. For a basic malt, The Glenlivet is outstanding - and well worthy of that "THE". There are depths of darkness and mystery within that shouldn't be present in a 12 year old whisky. I particularly love that bitter marmalade finish.

It's a wonderful whisky. And as you get older it gains so much in complexity. Marvelous to explore. And their finish remains delicate with years: the French Oak at 15, the so peachy 18, the subtle cinamon tones of the Archive -I had a few experiences nearing mystical highs with this one...

A friend of mine used to be head of marketing for The Glenlivet. Good times, what I can remember of them!

Don't forget, if you drink, don't drive. Unless you're away from your home.

Had some Glenmorangie The Original last night with a good friend of mine. He never tried single malt scotch before and was really impressed.

Glenmorangie is a great for gifting to newbies.

When you are ready for the real thing reach for Oban


Full Peat, full smoke and rich.

Yes, absolutely, Derek, because it's so delicate and buttery, the spices and smoke are pretty faint in the back; it's the perfect dram to start with...

Yeah! Merkurie, Oban is really nice. A good balance of several tendencies; not quite an island malt but not either the very sympathetic type of land whisky; something just well balanced between sea breeze and malt... I love it too...

Bonne fête nationale à tous les Français qui apprécient le seul bon whisky: celui d'Écosse, fait de bon malt au pot still!
