hamerhead Posted May 4, 2020 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
django49 Posted May 22, 2020 Share 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 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyB Posted June 11, 2020 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy p Posted June 13, 2020 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I offered him money, babes, and scotch, so I'll go with the Aberfeldy. Thanks Jason! Thanks for the help, guys! How'd it go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
