    Give me 20 for taste though. I prefer it over the 30 personally.

    I like Macallan but really love Islay malts.

    I want to hate Macallan but some of their bottles are REALLY GOOD and I can't deny that.

    never really warmed up to macallan 12, but yes, they have some really good stuff here and there.

    I hadn't gone Scotch shopping in about 2 years, the price increases are a little shocking (I know - inflation, but still). Received Macallan 12 Double Cask as a gift last year and it was nice. Also received Glenlivet 15 and it was pretty smooth.

    It depends what your goal is: Mine is to get passed out drunk. Ballantine's gets the job done. But, for flavor, Highland Park has much to be said for it. And the older Springbanks are excellent dessert drams.

    Recently was given a bottle of Yamazaki 12. It was good, but not sure what all the hype is about. Will try Highland Park next time my bar runs dry.

    I find it comes from a film, which I've heard of, but was never much of a movie man.

    Looking back to the days when I did, I wondered why people bothered with Scotch, where one had to pay so much more for a smooth, pleasing drink, when Irish offered that at "entry level."

    Not all Irish whiskey is smooth, IMO. My favorite everyday whiskey is Irish, however, it is very smooth and tasty too.

    I’m more the peated whisky guy, don’t like sherry casks much. I love Islay Whiskies, but my favourite peated whisky comes from a Speyside distillery: Tomintoul Peaty Tang. And it’s not even very expensive.

    Been no-alcohol for about 18 years. Back in the day, there would be Jameson in the house. And saki.
