Scotch and Bourbon drinkers - what is your favorite?
Was just gifted a bottle of Glenmorangie 18 Year Extremely Rare. Can't wait to crack it. I'm usually a Oban, Macallan or Talisker guy, but what a ****ing gift.
This is the time of year where I pretty much exclusively drink scotch and bourbon, and ignore the beer - and I'm always looking to try something new. What's your favorite? As far as bourbon is concerned, I'm a big fan of Black Maple Hill. Very reasonable at $40 a bottle. |

Oban and Macallan are my higher quality favorites.
My go-to drink is Glenfiddich 12 yr old.

I prefer the Pappy 20 to the Pappy 23, but I also don't have the most educated palate when it comes to spirits. Not nearly as educated of one as I have with beer, anyway.

20 or 23 will do, but in my neck of the woods, they are damn near impossible to get.
The only bottle I've been able to get my hands on was two years after I had put my name on a list, and someone didn't claim theirs. |

Northeast hipsters have discovered Pappy now, too. It was always hard to get, but now it is next to impossible. Frustrating.

The employee was able to stifle his laugh, I wasn't. He very nicely told her that Pappy was extremely hard to get, and suggested a bottle of Colonel E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof if she wanted something rare. |

I love Macallan, but IMO Oban tastes like Anbesol.
