Trying a new one tonight.... Glenlivet. It's nice. Lighter than Glenfiddich ...easier to drink...Not sure I like it as much as Glenfidich.... but tasty...
Scotchy scotch scotch
- Thread starter MMike
- Start date
I used to bartend at the Puchbowl in Denver back in the mid 80's. Glenlivit was upper shelf and a favorite of yuppy men who wore pink framed glasses and aligator shirts with upturned collars. To me it kind of smelled like vomit. I still prefer beer. 
sounds like you've dialed in the profile of MMike pretty well.
shows what you know....I'm not wearing a shirt.....or pants for that matter.
...I am wearing pink framed glasses though.
and i bet you call yr tackle 'little gator'
Actually no. He's "Little Lord Fauntleroy"
it's the scotch
Take it to the B&F forum yah friggin' n00B! 
Little Lord Fauntleroy wants to be in the Lounge
I bought my dad a bottle of the 18 year old Glenlivet from Costco out of all places. He said it was pretty good.
I've tried scotch, the one nice thing about it is that it's higher end......meaning you don't get a hangover like on the cheap stuff. I mean hell the 12 year Glenlivet is like $30 a bottle (18 year was $50 I think).

My Pops liked Glenmorangie, or Glenfiddich I beleive. I spent a year carrying my school supplies in one of the old stout cardboard tubes the bottles came in. While wearing my Budweiser shirt.
My kid cant wear his friggin Hooters shirt to school, and they confiscated and "lost" my Guinness bar towels that he took to school as part of his Ireland report and display. Not trying to hijack the thread here but...

im not much on scotch but i love me some whiskey. Jack Single Barrel is by far my favorite, closely followed by jamesons and gentleman jack.
bloody fascists.....
Maybe because they did not want kids to be pointing and laughing at his poor fashion sense?
Maybe he was pulling the bottom of the shirt up and through the neck hole Daisy Duke style and that was the only way to stop him...
Glenlivet or Johnny Walker for me thank you very much!
Nice...
What year was is MMike? I've had a couple bottles of the Glenlivet 18 year over the past couple of months...I really dig the Glenmorangie 12 year. I've been looking for the 15 (cause the 12 is sooooo smooth!!) but haven't been able to find it locally....Talisker kicks my a$$....Big fan of JW Blue too...
Nope. We're done with that phase so I am nursing my liver back into shape
Yup, they are very different styles, but those are the 2 that I have enjoyed. Lately I have been drinking bourbon more than scotch.
OK stupid scotch question. I was recently given a bottle of Chivas 18 year old. Is this good stuff? I have a flask and am thinking it's a good thing to warm one up on a cold Vermont ski lift. Good? Bad?
Why don't *you* taste it and tell us?
I'm scared...Why don't *you* taste it and tell us?
Yes. It is good. This (and Tangueray) kept me well intoxicated on my 52 hour odyssey back from Thailand. It was well worth it.
Take flask. Fill with Chivas. Ride lift. Pull from flask heavily.
Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
Speaking of two different animals Mmike, your Glens are two different as well. The fiddich, like a glenmorangie or Lagavulin is a peaty style, earthy type scotch whereas the livet is more a citrus, lighter low peat style. Between the two glens and the blended scotches like dewars, etc there is little difference because as far as single malts go, the glens are of low quality as it is when compared to some of the higher end stuff.
do your research newbs. I love me some scotch and am less picky about single and blended. Prefer me something less peaty unless it's an after dinner thing. give me a stella and a dewars rocks and I'm happy generally.

Excelllllllllllllllllllllllent. Not to mention it will get me through these shatty NE winters.
I have a groundskeeper Willie-type here at work instructing me....He told me the Livet would be lighter than the fiddich.
There was another one whose name escapes me that is made on the coast somehwere. It's kept outdoors and so the barrel have been somehow permiated by salt, so the scotch supposedly has an ever-so slight saltiness to it....

He's probably a terrorist.
Knowing the damn Scots that's probably just a story and the truth to the saltiness is much more disgusting.

Mmike http://www.maltwhiskey.com/html/northhighlands.htm maybe it's here
red johnny walker is, by far, my mind altering liquid of choice. chivas and ballantines are distant 3rds, behind local pisco.
i dont drink much beer (virtually none at all). local brews are crappy and a JW red 750ml bottle goes for like 10 bucks here. its impossible not to!
call me whatever you want, y'all booze snobs, but i gulp it down with red bull 50-50 and ice.
1/3 of bottle and 1-2 cans of red bull and am ready.
