JW Red
Chivas Regal 12 (never had the 18 or 25 but I'm sure I would like it based on how much I like the 12!)
Dewars White, 12

I am not a huge of fan of the JW black. :hn I can't really put my finger on it but it has this sweetness that I find a little unappealing. I am just as happy with the Red for $10 less.


I saw a couple people mention Cutty Shark - is it really not bad? I've always been tempted.

I just picked up a bottle of "Te Bheag" from the LCBO at $36 a bottle. This is amazing stuff for a blend. Smooth as a billiard ball.

That's great stuff isn't it.

Apparently it has a higher malt content than most blends, therefore it tastes more like a single malt.

but the Gold never disappoints

Grant's Very tasty and smooth. Made by or part of the Glenfiddich brand.

I'm a big fan of the Dewars 18. It's consistently in my liquor cabinet since I tried it about a year ago. I generally don't like 12 yr old scotch, find it a bit too harsh. I've had a number of very good 15-16 yr ones, though they tend to be only in the single-malts.

The Grouse is the number one selling blend in Scotland, FWIW.
