You are probably right ^_^ I can't seem to find any vapes online that are touted to be as good as a Cuban.

I commend you on trying to be healthier. But vapes are like drinking O'Doules to someone who likes beer.....
Sorry for thread jack... I'll sit in the corner

You are half right imo on that. IMO vaping is more satisfying than smoking in the fact that you can cloud up a room rather quickly with a nice rebuildable. Still will probably never nail down some finer tobacco flavors though which is definitely it's shortcoming (probably why I generally don't mess with tobacco flavors).

You can still join in the thread if you can find yourself a good single malt. I'll even forgive you if you take the baby step to blended Scotch with something like Johnny Walker, it's still tasty stuff but still can't hold a candle to a real single malt.

WHiskey is not my first choice. But the ones that I have liked the most are Balvenie and Glenlivet.

Y'all try some "Tin Cup" (I think out of Colorado). A friend gave me some and it was very good.

FIFY

Seriously man you would get lynched in Scotland spelling it like that :P

 

[JohnnyLoco]

WHISKY not whiskey.....there is a difference and the thread title clearly denoted we were talking about Scotch Whisky. Go start a bourbon thread and leave us real connoisseurs be

I know all about the difference. I've enjoyed Scotch from time to time.

Oh, and the connoisseurs have spoken

Betcha he would never step foot in Scotland and say those things :P And to me "bitter" is a good flavor, I'm a big fan of IPAs which most people would describe as bitter.

Flavor is in the tongue of the beholder I guess.

Let's keep the focus of the thread on scotch whisky. Thanks. There are post-whore threads for people who like to talk too much.

Appreciate the responses so far. And pictures are always fun. I think I will try a Glenlivet or Glenfiddich next.

Sorry bout that, been on a bit of a tear tonight. Guess I need to pour another glass and chill out I highly recommend Glenlivet. If you can find any 25 year I very highly recommend it, it will knock your socks off (so will the price tag but man it's worth it). Still the best drink I've ever had in my life (had it at a bar in Flagstaff very near my 25th birthday).

 

[rushthezeppelin]

Speaking of Glenlivet, I think I just had a boozegasm...

Behold................50 year Glenlivet

Edit: price tag is $650......a sip. $25,000 a bottle. Group buy anyone? lol.

 

[Koinonia]

I tell ya what, the best i ever had, was a VERY small glass of Glenmorangie Pride that a buddy got unipened at an eatate sale. Now that was delicious.

And an easy way to distinguish a whisky.... Whisky is real. Whiskey is American.

 

[Orbie]

I'm probably going to get kicked in the face for this.....

Crown Cask 16!

There is some great Whisky distilled in Canada. Commonly called Rye Whisky, it is usually distilled from corn mash then blended with various amounts of Rye Whisky. Canadian Whisky is world renowned as one of smoothest Whiskies distilled.

IF, and that means IF, I happen to have a decent bit of cash to spare, I'll stop in for what I consider to be the best blended scotch on the market. Johnny Walker Blue for me if you will please.

 

[35Remington]

Has anyone here heard of 40 Creek Whisky? I have not, but it came highly recommended. Made near Niagra Falls.

 

[Tejano Scott]

BTW Tejano Scott.....how dare you put that wonderful single malt on the rocks Neat, sometimes with a splash of water, is the only way to go.

I drink neat sometimes too. But I am absolutely addicted to the scotch flavored ice. For me it's the best part. I drink fairly quick (or pour myself smaller amounts) to avoid too much melt. Then I swirl it around to get the ice good and coated. Then it's like a scotch flavored icee! Best dessert ever. Can't pull it off too well with the massive cubes they serve at most bars. So there I'll just have it neat.

 

[Tejano Scott]

Also when you smoke a ton of cigars in a night, the scotch flavored ice is a very soothing complement. Try it. Just use medium to small ice. More like the bag ice from the corner store or corner store drink machine type ice.
