hamerhead Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 Don't drink the stuff myself, but as a gag I told my nephew I'd get him a bottle for helping me out. Name me a decent Scotch that isn't kerosene that's worthy of gag-giftness.
django49 Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 Find the right recipe....... The JonBenét Ramsey: This is your classic Shirley Temple with a twist: Simply mix grenadine, a maraschino cherry, lemon-lime soda, and enough Scotch to make the unforgivable mistake of wetting the bed.
BadgerDave Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 I was a scotch drinker for most of the 80's and 90's. Johnny Walker Red is a solid blend and a good introduction to the basic concept. My favorite, before I transitioned to tequila, was Laphroig. It's very much an acquired taste, with primary flavor notes of cilantro and ivory soap. Johnny Walker, J&B or Dewars are a safe choice for a scotch newbie. Avoid Passport or anything made in Japan!
JohnnyB Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 Been around a long time. Smooth and subtle. Pesocaster's favorite (if I'm up-to-date). I like it too, and for a true Scottish12-yr-old single malt, it's reasonably priced. Speyside in origin, which is a pleasant balance between swampy lowland and too-smooth highland. Available in the USA. Distillery website HERE. Professional review HERE.
tommy p Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 I know nothing about Scotch but have a story: my first trip to Europe was to England and Scotland and I was determined to have haggis. I went to a place and ordered it and when they brought it out they asked if I had ever had it before, which of course I had not. The server said "well, then you're probably going to want a little Scottish gravy on that." and went away. She came back with a brimming shot of Scotch and poured it on the haggis! No, it wasn't great.
