New to Scotch Whiskey
First I want to say Hello, I am so glad there is a sight here.. I am in need of help of learning all the brands and figure out what exactly it is I like in the world of Single Malt Scotch..
I have had some examples of Single Malt Scotch.
I have had Glenn Fiddich 12 years old.. I had this on ice and cut with water..
To be very very honest.. I did not care too much for it.. I could sort of pick up possibly a smoked flavor.. this was years ago though.. Maybe thats why i didnt get into scotch then.
This last weekend I was introduced to few more.. I was having a few cigars.. and a friend pulled out a bottle of Macallan 25 years, I know the JW blue is blended, but a bottle happened to appear..
The Macallan 25 was heavenly.. I went to pick up a few bottles and saw the price tag, my mouth hit the floor... I would love to find something like that for a bit cheaper.. It was probably the smoothest whiskey i have ever had.. And was able to drink it neat..
The Johnny Walker Blue was a little over powering for my palate.. the flavors were ok.. I was not overwhelmed as others were..
That is my bio in Scotch.. I have not had a sip more.. Looking for someone to steer me in the right direction on what to try.. I am excited in this expierence.. I am not sure it matters, but I do smoke cigars alot and was hoping to have scotch with a cigar..
thanks in advance..
