is the XR21 that good?  I have been giving them away as gifts but had yet to taste one myself.

@hwchoy

I remember it being one of the easiest drinking whiskies I've ever had.  All of the advantages of a 21 year old whisky (complexity, lack of sharpness) with none of the disadvantages (intensity, bitterness).  This is seriously dangerous liquid; if you're not careful, you could drink a fifth of a bottle without thinking about it.

Actually, I DO know a best solution...don't click the above link unless you want spyware (or who knows what else) on your computer. @ben, can this profile be deleted...?

@kroman

come to think of it I might have had a tasting at the airport duty free, but as you can see, it didn't make much of an impression.  perhaps as you say it is very easy to drink.

@Noodles

alright, just give me a purchase order of something  we could even arrange a JW KGV ;-)

Its a tough one for sure. I'm going to go Glenlivet 18, something about that one just really did the job for me.

I've never had the pleasure of tasting an old, expensive Scotch so picking an unknown like that would be cheating. Therefore, I would choose my favorite malt currently: Highland Park 12 year old.

If you could pick only one single malt expression to drink the rest of your days, what would it be? It might not necessarily be your favorite. That peat or sherry monster might get tiring if it is all you have to drink.

Yamazaki 12 or 18 yo will do a good job, I think.

I couldn't argue with that selection.
