What are you drinking tonight?

Couple of fingers of Bombay Sapphire with ice.

I like my scotch neat, but can't quite seem to get there with gin.

Without knowing anything of your tastes, I'd go for the Macallan, or Dalmore, both 12 years old. They're nice, and nothing too challenging. You're really looking to spend ~$40 at a minimum for any decent single malt. That's the price point where you won't really go wrong, and it becomes a matter of personal taste. Below that can be iffy. There's some good whisky to be found, but it's more of a gamble.

How good is the Glenmorangie Original, Glenmorangie Lasanta, or the Glenlivit 12?

Does this review bring any thoughts to your mind? It was the Macallan 10.

The negatives: This scotch seemed very "cold" and uneventful. Being triple wood/cask finished I did not "feel" or taste it. The nose was bland and un-pronounced. The taste was not complex but rather uneventful, simplistic and pedestrian. I was expecting much more, this being The Macallan. The malt notes were muted, subtle and invisible. The malt sweetness was not there. There was nothing that would make it stand out or make it memorable. I cannot even describe or define it in regard to taste.

The positives: It was relatively smooth. No offensive notes. on the nose or taste. Easy-drinking neat. Not much "heat" i.e. alcohol burn, compared to The Macallan 12 year sherry cask. Overall, this seemed like a basic single malt. Nothing special. I would recommend The Macallan 12 , Glenmorangie 10 or Glenlivet 12 over this scotch.

Glenlivet is quality, but "too common". For years, if a bar had a malt, it was Glenlivet. That kind of put me off on it, and I think its reputation is greater than deserved. It's worth getting though. Like the two I mentioned, it's a quality whisky, with no surprises.

Glenmorangie original is good, but not a favorite of mine. The flavor's on the light side. I've bought it before, and will probably get it again. Never had the Lasanta.

The Macallan review is a little harsh, but not far off the mark. 10 is a decent whisky, but I'd pay $10 more to get the 12. Maybe not $20 lif I were budget minded. Imo Macallan comes into its own at 12 years, and peaks at 18. It's too old at 25. Macallan would be a good one to get at multiple ages. They're readily available, and you can see how it changes with more time in cask.

Ahhhhh... my official "go-to" Belgian. Delicious.

Bud light again. I think I'm stuck in a rut...:|

Me too.

Miller Lite.

 

[shortylickens]

I had an Astro Pop at the bar.

It made me feel all silly and happy.

 

[Ruptga]

A little of this, and more of this. The imperial didn't seem to have much flavor, but I don't judge a beer on just one experience.

I've had Fin Du Monde and it is good, but being that it's an import and that I live in the middle of nowhere the best I can normally do is that Abbey or their Trippel. There's really nothing wrong with either of those though, so I can live with it.

So my neighbor is a whisky distributor/collector and hooked it up with some samples of these...

First drink in months. I went into the liquor store and bought the cheapest bottle of white wine that I could find -- I know why I drink liquor and it's not for the taste!

Cup of Eight O'Clock Original through my AeroPress. Alabama/Florida game on.... trying to study. Solid night I suppose.

Honestly, I fucking love anything that comes from Unibroue. I have yet to have a single beer from them that wasn't at least 4/5 stars. Awesome brewery. Crazy Canadians apparently know how it's done.

What annoys me is the pricing. 1 Large La Fin du Monde in the standard "large size" is ~$10-12. Inyet, they sell them in 4-packs in 12oz bottles for ~$11 as well. How the hell 4 glass bottles with a paper insert (to hold the beers) is cheaper or the same cost as 1 large glass bottle is beyond me. More beer, more glasses + cardboard insert and somehow that's cheaper? It leaves me scratching my head at that logic...

Yeah, I picked up the case of the least sweet ones. The pic I found is of the sweetest one (the blue "collar" label)
