Whisky reccomendation...

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

As for Irish I prefer Middelton; As I am down to the last two bottles of my last case, that's right, CASE, of Knockandhu 25 year old, I will probably switch back to something I can afford. (Several years ago I walked into a liquor store in Orange County, California, that was having some sort of "problem" as there was a marshal sitting next to the cash register and after each sale was rung up, he took charge of the cash. Anyhow, I handed the cashier a bottle of Kockandhu 25 and she rang up $11.50. At that point I asked how much they had [four cases unopened plus what was on the shelves] and I bought it all.) Back on point: Famous Grouse is probably my favorite blend-- mine and the Queen. Singles, aside from my ill-gotten gains, would probably be The MacAllen and the Glenlivit (especially the older vintages). Scotch is really a matter of how "you" taste the spirit. Some might find a whisky too astringent, while others would like its "spicy" flavour. The only thing you can do is taste a whisky and decide if you like it, rather than liking the cache of being seen to drink that brand.
