Boys....not a Scotch Drinker (bad experience as a teen...as in downing 3/4's of a litre of cheap whiskey on a dare..empty stomach, dehydrated.., August, Kissena park...after 4 hours of softball in the sun)..but am willing to give it a chance as beer is finally starting to bore me with its bloatiness etc.
Have to pick up a bottle of Jamesons for a friend anyway..what are your recommendations as to a real good Scotch to break my cherry? I'm willing to go 100-200 which I know is not alot for Scotch.
Sorry, I didnt read the whole thread, except for the Fists birthday story in DC... which was an amazing post, lol. The passion really piqued my interest to be honest!

When breaking ones cherry, I say go right for the peat. For your price range, try this...  |

I do remember seeing that one mentioned in this thread... I think...Thanks! Very (very) generally, older is better. That said, I've had some 10's and 12's that were more enjoyable than 18's. Now. Let's talk about scotch. Talisker 18 is in that $100-200 range and is awesome. |

Not as widely available as your butthole at the Hempstead bus terminal, but you should call ahead to see if they carry it. If not, most places will order it for you. |

After we finished putting up the tree this year, broke it out when the kids were off to bed. We did enjoy it, had to slow myself down though, being used to beer guzzling and all, lol. Thanks again, knowing how light you were travelling that trip, I know it took up precious cargo-space in your luggage, so mucho appreciated!

Love the smell, but then again, I love the smell of diesel fumes because of positive associations as a kid in Europe running around, lol. Flashback city. Glad you guys liked it. If you wanna do something very French, next time you can do a Trou Normand (A 'Normand Hole' litterally). During big meals like christmas, between 2 dishes you serve a small scoop of apple sorbert with calva (sorbert in the calva). It's supposed to help you digest, but really an excuse to drink more. I only recently started to get into whiskey. I’ll let Jetworks and Warfish give you a grand tour of what you can aim for. Personally, and given the insane prices of whiskey on your side of the pond, I would start with something ‘mainstream’ in terms of taste. Nothing too crazy different. And from there, branch out into different tastes. Once you’re sure, lay down some big bucks for something awesome. But that’s me, I don’t have an ex cops pension and can blow money left and right.  My suggestions and 2 of my favorites: Bruichladdich Classic Laddie – Gay bottle, great taste img.thewhiskyexchange.com/900/bruob.non13.jpgTalisker Storm - a perfect storm www.smartdrinks.ro/uploads/products/2013W40/0776-talisker-storm-1-973x1395.png |
