Scotch Whiskey Suggestions.

I’ve tried all the cheaper stuff through the years, but I have developed a more refined taste. Price while while a limit isn’t as important as quality, I’ll do without before going back to the cheaper stuff. (My head feels better the next day. LOL)

I started in the mid 90s with Cutty and i didn't like Scotch the first 2 or 3 times I tried it. But then one day something clicked and I couldn't wait to get some on ice. I moved up to Dewars and then Chivas . Chivas and JW Black are still as good as any to me. But if somebody else is buying would I take Glenlivet or Glenfiddich? Hell yeah.

Also, as to the title of the thread. It's whisky (no "e") when referring to Scottish whisky.

Did a Scotch experience tour in Edinburgh, found that the Speyburn 12 year is the way to go.

That used to be my go to brand when I could find it. Not many liquor stores carry it. Kinda odd since it was a single malt but only aged 10 years rather than 12. But I'd put it up against the more expensive brands any day.

I'm usually more of a bourbon drinker but Scotch is beginning to grow on me. This is my favorite bottle so far. Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban. It's a little darker and richer than most other scotches that I have tried and it won't break the bank at $50. It's also 90 proof which it is the bare minimum for me. (now that I'm used to top-shelf Bourbon anything less and I can't even taste the alcohol)

Scotch does have more complex flavor than bourbon but I don't enjoy the lighter kinds. Most of them are only 80 proof which just tastes like smokey water to me

My father was an avid Scotch guy (miss that man!), he always said glenlevet 18, always single malt and anything under 18 is a minor...... always had Glenlevet 18 on hand periodically 25.........

Agreed and the 21 is even better but out of the price range in this thread and it is Irish whiskey not scotch
