Tribal council is tonight, and someone will be voted off the island....click
No, there is a guy down in a hole and he is turning this big wheel, and the island will move.....click
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip......click
No, wait, which channel am I on......Where is my remote.....click......
now back to our regular scheduled forum......
It's excellent to be sure, but....
It's sort of a "definitive" scotch. By that I mean it's exactly what one thinks of when one thinks "good scotch". But to me, it's lacking character and personality. Excellent to be sure, but give me a MacCallan 12 or a Glenmorangie or Aberlour, something with some personality!
But none of that is to detract from it. All-Rounders deserve lots of credit- it's not a lack of skill that leads to a good balance.

Get to it slacker!

Best. Scotch. Ever.
Here, have a bottle.
Edit: Apparent picture fail.
hmmm.
Glenlivet is a Scotch producing area, like Bordeaux or Burgundy. There are many Glenlivets.
I assume we're talking about Smith's Glenlivet, which is a very good example and one of my staples.
sorry to be a pedant here but we're talking about something very dear to my heart.
edit: I must correct myself. Glenlivet is part of the Speyside whiskey domain.

I've been getting into the Islays lately...big fan of Laphroaig now. Have to try Ardbeg next - working on getting a new job, first
THE Islay malt is The Bruichladdich. Not as heavy as Laphroaig or Ardbeg. If you get a very good job go for a 1964!!!! Not the most expensive by far .... but I won't be buying it.
w00t!

Better than many Islay mass produced malts - by far! As I am from Southern Ireland and live in Scotland I am quite ambivalent about the whole matter. I drink Glenmorangie in Scotland and Irish whiskey elsewhere. It saves some problems!!
