Except I got a bunch of scotch for Christmas... so there's that.
My wife actually got me one of those scotch by the dram boxes, so I've been able to try a new scotch every night!
that's pretty close to my feelings...more than just Balvenie, but that's the basic story
Yup... but I like the peaty stuff, too. Have to be in the mood for it, though. Much prefer the speysides.
I prefer Scotch whisky over bourbon as it seems better suited for drinking straight up. I use Bourbon as a mixer, unless it's shots.
Having said that, I'm drinking blended Scotch this evening... π
I keep trying scotch but all I smell is dirty socks.
Q
You RUBES...
If a Cask Strength scotch isn't available I usually go for that peaty salty complexity of an islay.
Wait, what? You gonna become a priest or sumting? π
Does your wife know about this? [gonzo]
