Decisions, decisions.... I say go with the Lasanta Fooled me too when I first saw it; that's the Companta, similar label. Just got that and the Aberlour A'bunadh, which is what I went with. At 121.4 proof, it's the strongest scotch I've had to date. And boy is it good! |

I am really not a fan of the glenmorangie original but the variant products are worth their reasonable prices. The quinta ruban is probably my favorite. |

Understand that it's not your favorite, but at that price point, the 10yo is tough to beat. Before the price increase I would've given the nod to Macallan 12. Now the only competition at that price point (IMO) is Glengoyne (tough to get) or maybe Tomatin. Dalwhinnie, Glenkinchie, Glendronach and Balvenie 12 used to all be options as well, but again, price jumps. It's really an incredible value, but I get it isn't for everyone. |

I don't know how you keep so many bottles around man, I'm jealous. If I have even one its a challenge not to finish it in a couple of weeks. Most I've had on hand three at a time - maybe I should pace myself start building up a collection. |

Right now I'm at a high mark, but as you can see in the pic, there's about 4-5 bottles that are on their way out with another serving or two. |

Just the right amount of alcohol content so as to keep me calm in the event of the draft going sideways.  |

Timely - I just picked this beauty up the other day. Limited edition sherry cask, one of 578 bottles. Just fantastic. Will likely make a dent in it tonight for the draft.  |

Scotch and a coffee (espresso, cappuccino, etc) is one of the better combinations in life. Throw in a nice steak, some bud if you're into that, a good book/game/movie/album and you're set to chill for hours.

Currently enjoying Talisker Distillers Edition. Wow.
I love everything Talisker does. They could piss in a bottle and I'd drink it.
