Seriously?, you really want to know ho...Seriously?<br /><br />Seriously?, you really want to know how this scotch tastes?<br /><br />I'll tell ya!<br /><br />Its bloody great!<br /><br />I won't go on with a bunch of self-absorbed, arrogant and pretentious garbage like "it pairs with this" or "it pairs with that" or it has "subtle notes of this and that", or smells like a whore’s drawers, quite simply, its just a goddamned good single malt scotch whisky. In fact, its a great phucking whisky if you can afford it, and I can!!!!! And more than that, it stimulates the creative senses and inflames the genitals and makes you want to rob banks and put the top down and go for drives in the countryside with law enforcement and gunfire!!!!<br /><br />It's best enjoyed in the company of real men.<br /><br />Like you and a bunch of yer friends gathered on a glacier or on the top of some really big goddamned mountain you climbed in the midst of a blizzard, pouring a few shots to celebrate all while you sing Viking war songs.<br /><br />Or with that same group of real men, real men with beards and scars and tattoos, some of whom have robbed banks and stuff and done prison time, some of the others have killed bears and mountain lions and shit, and there you are just you and the men, sitting around a campfire or a living-room filled with books and leather furniture and stuff talking about war and global conquest and trapping wolverines or that woman who's vagina you set on fire with the friction of your massive, manly, magnificent man-meat and how, after you set her vagina aflame, you used those flames to spark up your Cohiba Robusto Fino Cameroon....and then watched her as she cooked you up a blood soaked filet Mignon all the while, clad in her skimpy panties, she kept refilling your glass and vacuumed the house and then she wrote a poem dedicated to your magnificent, manly, massive man-meat. And then you cracked open another bottle of this gift from the Gods, grabbed the maid and banged her until she was cross-eyed, limping and speaking Swahili !!!!<br /><br />Oh yeah.....so where was I?<br /><br />Oh right, its a bloody good scotch, a little pricey, but worth it if you can afford it........and best of all, Metrosexual Mangina's hate it.<br /><br />All the bovine scatology aside, I've had a few bottles of this stuff and its bloody good!!!<br /><br />Go buy a quart of it now!!!!<br /><br />Signed......<br /><br />The Bastard!!!!!!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-81752997900443765102013-02-27T21:40:49.406-04:002013-02-27T21:40:49.406-04:00I just finished my first dram of Glenfiddich 18......I just finished my first dram of Glenfiddich 18...the odd thing, my first sip supplied me with a most wonderful finish taste, an explosion of nutty sweetness. It was one of the most interesting flavors scotch has ever given me. Sadly, that flavor never returned. I could only catch hints of it thereafter. Not sure if my mouth was shaped and swallowed just right for that to happen or, more likely, my pallet was no longer neutral for that flavor to take place...anyhow, if I can find a way to replicate that fantastic finish I may have found my perfect scotch. Otherwise I'll stick to the 15 Solera as my favorite Glenfiddich.

I understand it's from the Highlands; and by peaty, I'm not referring to a peat/smoke bomb from the Islay, but I thought Oban 14 had a misty, briny character, with a background of heather and peat.Scotch Boynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-69179501172671751012012-01-11T13:11:58.258-04:002012-01-11T13:11:58.258-04:00Oban 18 would make an excellent gift for an Oban f...Oban 18 would make an excellent gift for an Oban fan.

Critics generally acknowledge that it is good, but seem to fixate their praise and attention on peat monsters like Ardbeg or Laphroaig. Anyhow, that's their loss. Us commoners know what's good, and I agree that Cragganmore is one of the great single malts!<br /><br />Cheers!Jason Deblynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-79901532235358879312011-07-24T00:32:27.148-03:002011-07-24T00:32:27.148-03:00In the price range (and if you're not into the...In the price range (and if you're not into the peaty islay malts), my favorite is the Cragganmore 12.<br /><br />I know it's not a popular malt, but I'm sipping on this Glenfiddich 18 right now and eyeing the bottle of Cragganmore wondering why it can't be so yummy.<br /><br />My taste is different than most professional reviewers, who do not rate the Cragganmore that highly, but for those who aren't super in to heavy single malts, give it a shot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-3554140257483083762011-07-01T17:24:58.725-03:002011-07-01T17:24:58.725-03:00Hello!
