    I hear ya Gene buddy. Reminds me that I need to get some more of the Trace. I can honestly say I've never enjoyed, or gone through, a bottle of any liquor as quickly as I did that one...took me the better part of a couple months, but still...:)

    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.


    Ha, I was worried it wouldn't be too great because of the low price, but I was pleasantly surprised.
    I'm thinking about trying either Talisker or Balvenie Double Wood next.

    Try the 15 yr Glenlivet..... It's all about the French Oak, baby.

    Hm, I never thought to try the 15 year. I think after Christmas I'm going to pick up the 15 yr Glenlivet and the Balvenie Double Wood.

    I wasnt thrilled withthe double wood. It wasnt bad and for the price its a good deal, but I was looking for more flavor out of it. Never paired it with a cigar, so I dont know how well it would go.

    The Scotch that I have always turned to is McClelland Islay single malt. I would imagine that it can be a bit much to drink with your favorite cigar since it has a heavy smokey flavor. However it mixes well with the trace amounts of sea salt and vanilla in the scotch. I have always had a glass or two with my CAO Golds. I am trying some new cigars and will have to see how it goes with those but at $40 a bottle or less I say its a good deal.

    Ok, so I gave in and finaly had my first scotch. A johnny walker black (if I ever get the blue, I'll pass and forward it to jozer so he can take a whack at it ). Anyway,I'm kind of on the fence about it. I paired it with a 5 vegas classic torpedo, and they seemed to go well together. Maybe pair another stick with it? Recommendations?

    I recomend the single malt scotch always...Also maybe try a madouro cigar, the sweetness of the maduro goes well with the "sharp" scotch flavor

    The Glen is significantly better than the JW.

    After you try Glenfiddich, try Glenlevitt, it gets better......

    My bottle of Glenlivit is getting low........better stock up! These cold winter nights deserve some respect.

    OK, all this talk about scotch has got me really wanting to try it. Normally I'm a bourbon kind of guy. All my stepfather drinks is single malt. Usually Glenlivet or Glenfiddich. I have one question for all of you connoisseurs here. What is the best way to try it. Straight up? On the rocks? Scotch and water like my stepfather takes it?

    I'll be waiting for responses.
