Hi everyone! Yes, I am a newbie to this forum, but not to Scotch and Cigars. I've been reading some of these forums for a while, and thought this topic would have been covered a long time ago. I like the Glenfiddich 12 yr. with an RP vintage 1990 or a 5 Vegas Relic...but it suits some Cubans better....if you have the chance to smoke those.

Hey! your on the forms!!!! Welcome!

Yes Jeff, I made it. I notice I have to put in my own HTML for formatting text in here. Is there some "auto format" button or something I am missing?

Im guessing it was the glass you used? Did you use one at home or at a bar? If it was at a bar then it probably wasnt properly rinsed and disinfected. If it was at home then prob you diswasher rinse was off a bit. Id give your glass a good rinse next time around.

I have had all three as well. Ther red is a staple for my everyday life (yes, I am an alcoholic - kidding) and the black is what I drink when I am out of the house. I bought a bottle of Gold for my father a year ago and we each had a glass that day. It was by far my favorite because of the more peaty, mossy taste it had. It had much smoother flavor than the red and it was more complex than both the red and black. I can't remember the profile exactly because it was a year ago, but I remember it tasting more earthy with a nice spicey bight. I am getting a bottle of green when I get home to take to my father. I have heard some GREA things about the green, like that it is better than the twice as expensive blue. I guess I will find out in a month.

Nope I tried some more later on from a different glass that i hand washed and rinsed. Still the same. Maybe just me.

Go with the Evan Williams. Way better than scotch.

I really like Whisky, more so that Scotch, but the question was about scoth, lol.

Doesn't have to be bourbon for me. In fact my go to liquor is Jack Daniels. Love the single barrel, but not all the time, just for special occasions.

Would you still go with Jack Daniels if you were aware of what they've pulled on the gullible public? Jack Daniels used to be 90 proof. Then, without saying anything to the public who supported them, they watered it down to 86 proof but kept the price the same. Then, when that seemed to work so well, they watered it down again to 80 proof, still without lowering the price. I used to be a diehard Jack fan but no more.

And, as for single barrel booze of any brand, are you aware of just what that is? It's chosen by the taster at a given distillery, who samples each barrel and decides whether it's good enough to call a 'single barrel'. And that's what you get - - it's from that particular barrel. Now, the next barrel that's designated a 'single barrel' comes from another barrel that he thinks also merits that honor. The problem is that the two barrels in question may taste absolutely nothing alike. I've had some good single barrel booze and, when I bought more of what I had had previously, it tasted like crap. Needless to say, I don't buy single barrel anything any more.

So, back to the Jack Daniels. I've found a sour mash bourbon (which Jack Daniels isn't) which tastes as good as Jack, is still 86 proof, and costs a lot less. So guess what I drink now for everyday bourbon?

I finally had my first glass of scotch: The Glenlivit 12 year. It was damn good! Less of a burn than other hard liquors.

I'll let you know this now - you have set the bar fairly high with the 12yr. Glenlivit. That's a great scotch.
