I always prefer a single drop or even two of water off of an ice cube in my single.

In Scotland, no ice! They'll add a few drops of water though.

Btw, w+a, I had a nice discussion about single malts with Olivier Humbrecht this summer. His wife is Scottish and they were about to leave for a vacation in Scotland. He gave the name of a single malt site he frequents.

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.

One word.... "Ick".quote:Originally posted by I.U. Hoosier:
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.

Berno, that Pappy 20 is pretty great stuff. Have you tried the 23? I haven't but would love a dram. From what I've heard, it's the Romanee-Conti of bourbons.

not as refined as the basil hayden's, this is sharper, but still nice. and a great selection when you walk in from the office and "need a drink"

Anyone tried Avion tequilla? You might recognize the name from Entourage which gives me a hard time taking it seriously. I read a somewhat reputable person write about it being pretty good though. Always skeptical of movie crossover products.

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.

Catch everything you possibly can, TPEwinedrinker. I'll never understand why they closed the best of the Lowland distilleries. Luckily there are stocks remaining, recently they even released an official 25y bottling. I prefer the younger versions though. Look out for the Rosebank "Flora & Fauna" series.
Writing those lines while enjoying a Balvenie 21 Port Wood.

I thought I'd try once more. Has anyone had any experience with any of the French single malt whiskies? We'll be visiting a distillery in the Champagne region and I have no idea what to expect.

Ron Zacapa XO aged rum from Guatemala.
Seriously good stuff. Beautiful nose of cinnamon, over-ripe banana and allspice. Rich, smooth mouth feel with just a hint of burn on the finish. Bravo.

That partially answers my previous question. Have you ever tried the Solera Gran Reserva 23 from Ron Zacapa ?
