I was just asked - what is your favorite scotch?

I want to pass along a little bit of my reply. A man should have several types of scotches at his disposal. Each has its own style that will appeal to your senses and palate depending upon your mood.

For example, sometimes after a particularly long day I may break out a glass of Lagavulin for something that is salty, smokey and no cigar could intimidate.
Other times when something lighter and brighter is called for then Cragganmore will appear. When looking to sit back and enjoy the end of a nice brisk day, Oban may be the choice of the day. A nice chocolate dessert may be the reason to take the Johnny Walker Gold from the freezer. When sharing something with a good friend, JW Blue maybe on the docket.

In summation, I think its best compared to ice cream. With all the flavors, and combinations, sometimes vanilla won't do (but sometimes it will).
