Where the hell do you work?I can't stand scotch... But my coworkers all love the stuff. On the table here behind me we have Johnnie Walker Blue Label, Lagavulin, Oban, Laphroig, and Glenfiddich. Lagavulin seems to be the favorite.

Thats important to me cuz I'm a wuss and cant handle rough, grainy liquor. My first real drinking was in the islands with fruity rum like St Maartens Guavaberry.
I only drink the smooth stuff. It gives me no pleasure or ego to choke down harsh booze, especially cheap whiskey.
Get Black Bush Irish. For Johnnie Walker, Black is the best bang/buck. It's also my drink of choice in under stocked bars. I prefer it to Glenlivet.
Sure they're both whiskey's, they're also both drinks. Maybe we should start discussing whether coca cola is better than whiskey?
This thread is about Johnny Walker. To start suggesting the OP should instead be drinking Bourbon, Sprite, or Drano because they're cheaper is pretty retarded. Almost as retarded as the people who seem to think the only difference between Scotch and Bourbon is the price. Forget about that fact that I have bottles of Bourbon that cost several times what a bottle of Black Label costs, but the tastes are vastly different.
I agree Black is a good value. Red is garbage, at that price point Dewars is much better IMO. I do prefer Glenlivet to Black however.
My bro is a big scotch drinker....he poured me a glass of blue label last weekend and it was very good.
It was the best of everything he let me try....black, green and 2 others I don't remember the names.
How did the black compare to green?
I liked the black as well. It just had a more "in your face" taste as opposed to the green's smoothness.
edit: got confused. I didn't like the green. The above post was black vs blue. From what I remember the green was the roughest
After only 5 glasses of scotch? :whiste:My bro is a big scotch drinker....he poured me a glass of blue label last weekend and it was very good.

It's not JW, but my current favorite 'cheap scotch' is Balvenie Caribbean or doublewood.
Yeah, I just tried both Balvenies last year and still thought the JW Black was better for some reason. The B tasted mediciny to me.
i like the double wood. had a nice honeyed flavor to it. op should get laphroiag cask strength :awe:
Balvenie raised the price to close to $200, but if you look around, some liquor stores still have the old price ($100-120 or so). My favorite whisky by far.
!!!
Shite, the price really jumped on that. I think I paid about $80, but that was years ago.
Basil Hayden is cheap? It's not as cheap as corner creek reserve, which is as good or better imo. Woodford reserve is also delicious. Buffalo Trace is candy as well.Shorty if you want a good cheap priced whiskey try Basil Hayden's or Crown is good.
Crown is shit, I can never trust your opinion again.
The best Johnnie Walker is called Oban."
OMG, I thought I was the only one here on ATOT to have ever enjoyed that Elixir Of The Gods, otherwise known as Oban. I have mentioned it before in other Scotch threads, but no one else seemed to have tried it. Hard to find in my experience, but I have not drank for the past couple of years due to some medication I need.
