Old Weller 107....Sour Mash Bourbon...$20
Glen Moirange...18 year old
McCallens...18 year old and 25 year old

Trader Joes under their own label is featuring a McCallenss 10 year old for $20 a bottle.....

Want to try the Laugvlin stuff.... Rip van Wynkle Bourbon and McCallens Barrel Proof...

Currently working on a bottle easch of Macallan 25 & 30 year old. Very tasty but also very high priced @ $500 & 325, respectively.
Personally , I prefer JW Red as a daily drinker, but love the single malts, particularly Isle of Islay. Heavy smoke/peat.
The Malt advocate Society runs Whiskeyfest in NY & Chicago every year where about 200 malts are available for drinking. Cost is about $100 this year.
If you're in Innsbruck, try the Diana Bar in Hall in Tyrol where the proprietor has around 200 or more scotches. He's much like the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld though; Herr Steimayer.

Scotch????

Scotch was made by men who wear skirts. Get a bottle of Evan Williams Single Barrel Bourbon instead. 'Bourbon of the Year' 3 years in a row and counting. I dont know what a $300 bottle of Scotch tastes like, but $25 will get you the best Bourbon on the planet.

Tabs,
Old Weller is made by the same distillery as my fav "Rebel Yell"...

[imcarthur]

Lagavulin is my fave.

I discovered it on a snowy night in a pub on Yonge St. A good late night scotch.

Start with a lowland early. Proceed to a Speyside & end up at Islay late at night.

I'll have to try the Red Breast Art mentions, just because I'm half Irish. The other half is German; talk about inner conflict. I've dealt with this my whole life; it's not pretty. Whisky or beer?; argh; I can't take it anymore! The only way I've found inner peace is to just break down and have both.

[SLO-BOB]

I knew I came here for a reason. I love Lagavulin! That and Balvenie 15 are my two most consumed. I have a bottle of Macallen 25, don't get me wrong it's great, but I prefer the other two. Macallen 18 is decent also, but the price seemed to creep beyond it's value-like the 25 to be sure.

Oban or lagavulin

last time i was home on vacation in scotland, i stopped in a small town by the name of Callendar. in the middle of town ,there is a shop, that sells all manner of different blends of whiskey. they have miniature bottles of whiskey from every producer in scotland.i had to ask, and they told me there were over 450 different producers!
going by some of the prices quoted here, it would seem that you guys pay over the top prices, for your favourite poison!
