Any favorites? I will be enjoying an 18 later this evening.

I didn't even know Macallan made a 17. I've had the 12 and the 18.

Please know, I'm no expert.

I liked the flavor of the 17 and the smoothness of the 25.

got to enjoy some Pappy Van Winkle 12 yr, 20 yr and 23 yr last night with friends. some of the best stuff around imo.

Never heard of that one, sounds great. It's Rum finish, i guess, rather than aged in coconuts?

Midnight Moon. It was interesting.

Eagle Rare 10 and 17 year. The 17 has always been one of my favorites and I always try to pick up a bottle from Binny's each year when it is released.

Hendrick's Gin with St. Germaine Tonic

Jefferson's Presidential Select 18 Yr - Really good stuff

Some single malts after dinner last night.
Glenlivet 12
Macallan, both 12 and 15

Riazul Añejo

Need a sub $50 single malt. I believe macallean 10 is in that price range but would like to try something new. Any recs?

Dalmore 12 - tasty and a cool bottle.
Glenmorangie 12 Quinta Ruban if you likd a little sweetness. This one is aged in port barrels.

Recently tried Ardbeg 10, which should be in this price range. I've intro'd it to a few friends and everyone has come back with rave reviews.

I like the Strathisla 12. It is not a peaty style at all. Lots of honey and some spice. Perfect for the holidays, says I. $40-ish in Chicago.

Sounds awesome. What's St. Germaine Tonic? Do you combine the two or is it an off-the-shelf product?

St Germain is a elderflower liquor by itself that retails under 40usd. For the lack of better description, it has a honey-lychee flavor that puts Soho to shame, but more sweet, more floral, and more complex. It is well known for versatility with cognac, rum, Hendrick's gin etc etc.., but I usually drink it just on the rocks.
