Just had my first glass of Glenlivet 12 Year Single Malt Scotch. The ABC store locally had some smaller bottles for 20, and so I couldn't resist picking a bottle up to give Scotch another try. I have to say, I am quiet impressed. The flavor is bold and lacks the Iodine taste of the Islay scotches. I very much enjoy the flavor, actually a bit more then I enjoy Irish Whiskey (Gasp! And to think I am Irish!). It seems like each sip for me teaches me something new about it and the longer I hold onto it the more of the flavors I pick up. I think that a glass of scotch and some background Mumford & Sons goes very well together. Cheers, stay thirsty my friends. I am glad that I gave scotch another try.
