Death Inc

Just wondering if there are any members that enjoy a good single malt?

Ive only recently in the last 12 months had my eyes opened to good scotch whisky. Its an extremely expensive but enjoyable fascination.

So far my favourite everyday scotches:
Lagavulin - 12yrs (not available currently) & 16yrs
Laphroaig - Quarter Cask
Ardbeg - 10

My love to drink scotches when available and I can justify the expense:
Ardbeg - Supernova 09 & 10
Ardbeg - Corryvreckan
Lagavulin - Distillers Edition

Fisty firstly Welcome, and the answer to you question is yes....

Everyone has to drink at deathinc other twise the images are burned in...

While I haven' started my single scotch collection yet I have since giving up smoking (I can Taste Stuff) started a blended scotch collection with $800 to go for the last 2 bottles.

The blue is empty I have a mate that thought it was funny....

Ah well you're on the road to enlightenment....

I unfortunately have walked through that door where you cant go back once you've started on single malt.
Im certainly a newbie to single malt... but wouldnt have it any other way.

Where abouts you from? Here in Perth we have a newish whisky bar (Helvetica) and whenever im in Sydney I make a point to visit the Marble Bar.

My home collection is non existant due to how quick I drink a bottle if I have one at home. Nothing like a night in on the stompy robots game with a regularly topped up neat glass of scotch.

Amen brother..neat, there is no other way.

Well there are... but they are the wrong way.

LOVE single malt though 2 kids n' mortgage means not enough loving so often get blend like BNJ or  J&B (grants when I'm real cheap)

In no particular order:

Lagavulin - 16yrs  (OK but strangely too "smooth")
Laphroaig - 10 love it
Ardbeg - 10 love it more
Talisker - 10 soo much lovin
Highland Park - 12 mmm though it's been a while

I love a Smokey Islay though current taster is Aberlour.

My Usual method is 2 parts scotch to one part water, sometimes a bit less water. Def no ice

THIS!

Best thread ever.  Loves me scotch!

Whiskey V?

heretic

Is the pope catholic does a bear shit in the woods

My problem most of mine favorites are from small Scottish highland distilleries, such as the Orkney islands.

Can't buy then in Aussie :(

Have to wait for brother in law in England to come for a visit or send me some over as a gift.

The wait is a killer.

Auchentoshan is a good scottish single malt, Dan Murphy is your friend.

I wasn't even aware that you could get smokey tasting scotch until i went to Edinburgh. They take their shit seriously but fuck buying drinks in Britain. 

My taste is definitely biased towards the peaty smokey Islay types!

I regularly travel around the country, I frequent the Marble Bar in Sydney... I dont know of many other Whisky bars elsewhere. Anyone know of some other good ones?

Try one called yamazaki. its a japanese single malt scotch but sooooo good.
and my other fav the glenlivet 16 yr old single malt

Isn't Japanese single malt scotch a contradiction of terms? Wouldn't that just make it whiskey?

If/When I go on that UK trip with the girls within the next 2 years I'm more than happy to import something for the highest bidder/favor/blackened soul... ;)

no it's deinitly scotch, it's made in exactly the same style and i can confirm it is VERY good stuff

i direct you to line one of the ALMIGHTY WIKIPEDIA!!

Scotch Whiskey not made in Scotland is Whiskey.

Jazzy... my soul is up for grabs... there is a particular bottle of something special that I am after!

currently making my way through a bottle of Nakes scott and also have a bottle JoHnnie XR special reserver 21 for opening at the right time!

Im going to be sourcing a bottle of Lagavulin Distillers edition very soon.... Wonder how long I can make it last... or not...

Bought a bottle of Monkey's Shoulder for my b'day present :)

Not single malt but next best 8)

The first single malt I tried was Laphroaig 12 yo and never looked back. I like the smoky/peaty single malts best because of the unique flavour but being a student I can only afford blends. I figure a blend is fair game for mixers and like mine with dry ginger ale.   

That's the spirit! :-)

BNJ is a nice blend.
