Welcome aboard, Alderton.

As different people get differnet flavors and aromas from the same drams, the only way to know for sure what you might like is to try 'em. As I noted in another thread,...

Hi Jim, and welcome. The outlier on your list is the Glenmorangie; this is a distinctly light whisky among some broader-shouldered brethren. That said, it is a good list. You might also find it...

I missed this for some reason, too, and I must agree all around with you both. Springbank 10 is the best example I can think of that expresses the fact that a whisky need not be particularly old to...

That a whisky is not smokey does not necessarily mean it will be floral or light, but yes, it is possible. The smokey flavors and aromas that a whisky possesses comes from using a fire (often with...

I have a bottle of 1982 Glenrothes that I'm quite fond of. Depending on where you live, there might be a store nearby that has, or can get, single cask bottlings, which usually note the distillation...

This is very likely a standard issue from the brand, although it is an older edition. Standard practice was to give each release a vintage, but they recently (in the last couple years, I believe)...

Tyrconnell is a pretty darn good single malt. It is a twice-distilled, unpeated Irish whiskey, and is a good entry into single malts. Another you might try if you want to stick to Irish single malts...

Some of the women I know (all novices to SMSW) have been favorable toward Glenmorangie Original, Highland Park 12, Macallan 12, and even Cardhu 12.

I'll second Brian; for the price, you really can't do better than HP18. And it should be relatively easy to find.

You probably can't go wrong with the Glenlivet 18, then. Just the same, I don't know anyone who would mind having a bottle of HP 18. You also might see if you can find a limited edition bottle or...

If your boyfriend drinks Oban, it would seem he likes at least a bit of smoke. I would recommend Highland Park 18 or 25 before anything by Glenlivet. Dalwhinnie Distiller's Edition also comes to...

Wow, sounds like you got a bad bottle. While I prefer Auchentoshan 18, my experience with the 21 is entirely different. Sorry to hear it, and I agree with blenderm -- I would definitely lodge a...

Mercy, I would freak out, too. I hope you get the Glenrothes back, as well as a good measure of justice, if warranted.
