I just got a bottle of Pig Nose scotch which I think is a double malt scotch...it is very very good! I am smoking a Opus X Lancero which has about a year on it and it compliments it perfectly....the Opus is kicking my ass!!! I am buzzing tough!

Well, Blended/Vatted/Pure Malt would be correct for a double malt.
I've heard that term used for a few malts which can be misleading. A double malt should be better than a single malt right? I've also seen blended malts from 2 distilleries that don't try to mislead the consumer with that moniker. |

Laphroiag 10yr or Bowmore Mariner 15yr for Islay
Glenmorangie Madeira or Glen Ord 12yr for Highland Glenlivet 21yr or Glenfarclas 17yr for Speyside Longrow 14yr for Islands But honestly there's so many brilliant whiskies, each with their own individual characters, that it's impossible to pick one as my favourite or go-to dram. Just like cigars, it depends on the day and mood.... that's probably why I have 50+ bottles of scotch in my cabinet ![]() |

Never been big on Macallan. I've tried all of their standard line and it's always left me with a "hoh-hum, that was ok" impression. It's not a bad whisky by any stretch of the imagination, but I find it to be basically the whisky equivalent of OpusX or Cohiba: significantly over-hyped/over-marketed (and as a result over-priced) to the point where it can't meet the expectations it's set for itself.

Lagavulin 16 - been drinking it for about 10 years and trying something else makes me like the Lagvulin even more, lots of smoke!

or 08. Truthfully, I agree that there are better Scotch Whiskys than Macallan, but it is a great bottle and I enjoy. Balvenie is one I enjoy as well. the 17 yr sherry cask a bit more than the 21 yr Port Wood. |

I have a bottle of Macallan 18 from their Fine Oak series. I like the Sherry 18 better but it was pretty smooth. Just seemed to lack much in the way of character.

And the Blue is something unique for a blend at least to me. Such a nice almost refreshing quality to it. Now I've got a craving for one ofthe other and nothing is on hand! ![]() ![]() |
