Best single-malt Scotch...

Prefer Speyside scotch, The Macallan 18 (which I prefer to the 25), Glen Elgin, Dalwhinnie 15, and the Balvenie Founder's Reserve. Enjoy Irish malts just as much, especially - when I can get it - Jameson Gold. Also enjoy Midleton, Redbreast (pure pot still), Knappogue Castle and Bushmill's 16 yr old single malt.

Well, it's been two trips to London (and Cadenhead's) since I last posted and it seems I'm running out fo scotch again.

I must agree with the recomendation for the 1986 double matured lagavulin! I don't like the regular one of their's...to smokey for me, but the double matured! I also like the 1967 Glenlivett cellar collection. That was really nice! I won't list the single casks...to many and too few known.

As for blends...I don't agree with some on the Johnie Walker Blue. For me it's to bland, I prefer the gold if I go that route.

After all this time and all this scotch, for me it still Macallan 18 or 25 or single casks when i've got them! I need to start a record of the ones i've had so I'll remember the next time I'm in London!

Cheers!

Had a bottle of 25yr Talisker recently. Unbelievable!!! Very tough to find as only 3000 bottles released. A friend tasted it at Talisker before release. Felt lucky to find a bottle. I'm usually an Islay guy, the older the better. But this Talisker is definitely worth seeking out.

Glen More... Lip smackin good to the last drop.

18 yr Mcallan for me.
