Re: Single Malt Scotch Whisky
My current bottle of Lagavulin. I take in the smoky essence for several minutes before sipping.

I do like Talisker, however I'm partial to Edradour myself

Re: Single Malt Scotch Whisky
I'm gonna observe and take notes. My experience hasn't been wide, but I've come away with a few for which I truly have formed a repeated appreciation. Balvenie Double Wood, for one. I shall monitor and try what you guys recommend, because I agree that this is something women don't comprehend. Maybe that's another reason we like the ladies here...?

Re: Single Malt Scotch Whisky
I've only been fortunate enough to have this particular bottle once, while on holiday in Edinburgh. But it was my all time favorite. I'm partial to Glenmorangie anyway, it was the first whiskey I had ever tasted (thanks to the movie Highlander, of all things) and I guess I became accustomed to it's taste. I've got a 12 year bottle of their regular single malt here at the house. But the Burgandy with just a splash of water (same water used in the making of it, I was told) was perhaps the greatest thing ever!!!!
By the way, if someone has some experience with decent water experimentation, I'd be happy to know what people think. I've got city water on tap here, and that's like adding chorine to it, so for at home, I get a bottle of Fiji Water, chill it to about 38 degrees (my normal fridge temp) and add just enough to enhance the taste. It's Fiji, so it's better than tap water, but it still has an odd plastic taste to it. So any tips on better water are appreciated.
Jus wookin puh nub.

Re: Single Malt Scotch Whisky
I clicked like to the OP... but i must confess that I do find this thread just the slightest bit geeky. Pleasure is far too serious not to be taken a little bit lightly... to corrupt Oscar Wilde somewhat.

Re: Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Two things you'll find a lot of men get super seriously geeky about, whisky and cigars.

Cigars.... urrghhh... nothing spoils a wonderful dinner more than some jerk lighting one up at an adjoining table. Thank god most civilised places now ban smoking in restaurants.

Re: Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Yeah, I'm not personally down with cigars either, but I spent last night listening to three guys going on about the proper technique for drying leaves, and Cuban rolling versus Venezuelan rolling. That to me was geeky. But then again, I was there trying to explain why a single malt was better than a blended whisky. So, I'm a geek.

Re: Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Well geekiness is not an accusation I'd throw around too lightly. Passion, enthusiasm etc... are excellent qualities. but geekiness incarnates a sort of obsessiveness.
