I'll go along with that. It's still on Scot, right? The first two rounds, that is. I promise, Scot, with a round like this, I'll restrain myself to only one round. Really - I promise!

If I ever go to Vegas again, I'll join ya'll for a drink, but I'm a light weight in terms of consumable OH compounds, I was usually the designated driver. Be safe. I prefer Ice Cream Bananas! Well, maybe not.

Man, Bob, the '92 distiller's edition was amazing. A client gave me a bottle in lieu of payment once. Le drool. Oban comes from my (highly extended) clan's traditional distillery, so I'm almost automatically partial to it.

Chong,

Where did you pick up the taste for single malt Scots? I got mine living in New York as a kid. Drinking age at the time was 18. Glenmorangie, Glenfiddich ----- need I go on. The most amazing thing for me lately is I have developed a taste for Irish whiskey after all these years. As a young man I thought it tasted like something more suitable for cleaning the bloody bathroom . Jack Higgins set me straight though. I love the stuff. Half Irish you know.

But a good single malt, redolent with peat --- is a treat.

Dan

I also find I love Irish. Jameson's 12 year old seems like gold to me. Any other recommendations? For some reason I've never been able to develop a taste for Scotch.

The Irish of my choice is Tullamore Dew. It was the first Irish Whiskey I ever had and It is still my favorite. I love the crock too.

Just my 2 Cents.

While we are hijacking the thread - as a McDonald - I used to drive up to the Glenfiddich distillery and buy 25 year old Glenmorangie single malt from a numbered barrel for the other (not better you note) half - can't stand the stuff myself!

Lorax - love your train wreck!! Too funny.

Hey, we can have a laser sky battle! I did special training in laser light for rock shows during my pyrotechnics intensive. I have my own heads.

Howard, it's super expensive ($125) but if you want great Irish try and find a bottle of Middletons 25 year old. It comes in a wood box that can be used as a humidor when you're done with it. I visited the ancient distillery when I was there on a hunting trip and have always had a bottle on hand since.

Chong, if you ever get this way you're welcome to my ever growing collection of single malts. I just found a new fairly inexpensive one: Singleton($45) that's very good.

lorax, I bought 2 bottles of the '92 abroad for less than 1 bottle of regular here. I'm going to open the first one in May when I go away fishing and take up cigars again for a week. (No witnesses)

Bryan, I wish I were your age again!

Lastly, Island Cassie, always have Glenmorangie and Glenfiddich on hand, very high quality......and sorry to have innocently participated in the wreckage of another good thread.........you had an Ice Cream fruit recently , didn't you?

It wasn't innocent at all, Bob. It was booze-fuelled if it was anything, and in my experience, the boozy is never as good-intentioned as it seems.

Bob, what's your take on Lagavulin?
