Workin' on it...😀
Tonight is Glenlivet, standard 12y/o.
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.
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
w00t!
Re: It's excellent to be sure, but....
Yes, good, but sort of a lowest you want to go... anything less and Crown Royal is a better Scotch and it isn't even Scotch.

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.

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!!

I always pick up a couple at the airport back on the way home -- but this year I also picked up some Ziegler Edelbrand at the MUC airport -- that stuff will put hair on your body and cause your eyes to roll around.

The kind we get, that i refer to, is like the one pictured earlier... probably the mass market, we'll ship it to Canada where most won't notice, kind.
