I've been seeking an introduction to her for some time. I just can't see myself forking over for what are probably inferior US versions.

A single malt with 1/2 of a tiny ice cube is perfect and about the same as a couple drops of water and doesn't chill the scotch.
Yes it does. That's ice's defining characteristic.

I have a personal preference for the
whiskeys of Ireland. From what I have observed not a whole lot of people have ventured into this venue. I would suggest that you scotch fans give it a try. For everyday drinking I prefer Jamison. For great sipping I strongly suggest Blackbush.

Did a side-by-side of Macallan 18 and Lagavulin 16 tonight (no wine). The honey and smooth Macallan were excellent, but I slightly prefer the bite of the Lagavulin.
I tried Maker's Mark's new "46" bourbon tonight. It was quite good, maybe a little more complex than the standard Maker's.
Herrudura Anejo Tequila. As an aside, Casa Herrudura is a great old property to visit if you find yourself in Jalisco State for Tequila tours.
Bought a Bunnahabhain 18 about a week agaoi and have taken only a small taste, but I like it a lot. It's a bit smoother than the 12, which is not necessarily a plus for me with an Islay, but the total package is stunning.
Caol Ila 18

I've been going through a bottle of Diplomatico 12 Year Reserva Exclusiva Rum lately. To this day, the best liquor I've ever tasted.
I've been sipping on the following, lately:
Pappy Van Winkle 12yr
Templeton Rye
At The Publican I had a taste of the Pappy Van Winkle 20yr. It was unbelievable!
