My favorite scotch is whatever scotch was in Turpin's flask last night.

Do tell Turpin.

What was the wonderful Scotch that keep Dirka so
warm last night?

I'm guessing Talisker...

I like mine either in a glass, in a bottle, or in a flask.

Like noted above, my tastes differ from time to time, but all of them satisfy. Usually, I prefer my scotch a bit smokier, but i will take a JW when that's all that's offered. Ha.

I like the blick OK, but I prefer a good port-finished Glenmorangie or Caol Ila or Talisker or . . .

I always keep at least 3 bottles of Scotch on hand - 2 for my 2 "mainstay" Scotches & 1 "rotational" bottle wherein I try a whisky that I haven't had before.

My 2 "mainstay" whiskies are Laphroaig 15 y.o. & Cragganmore 12 y.o.

Currently, my "rotational" Scotch is Clynelish 14 y.o.

I'm also quite partial to the only single malt made in my clan's area - Aberfeldy. I kinda think of it as the Donnachaidh (Robertson) clan's own whisky.

Honestly, I haven't tried a single malt Scotch Whisky, yet, that I actually dislike. Though, Glenfiddich 12 y.o. is the "McDonalds" of single malts to me; you know, a kind of bland, inoffensive, lowest-common-denominator type single malt Scotch meant to be acceptable to the widest possible audience. The Speyside 12 y.o. didn't really grab me either, but was just okay... Still, I'd take either of those over the blends I've tried (Famous Grouse, JW, etc.).

Sláinte mhath!

heh, the only thing I like blended with my scotch is the glass I'm drinkin' it out of ( unless it is cask strength, then maybe a wee drop o' water)

I just ran out of Scotch!

Time to restock... had a fun evening. Glenfidditch 12 year. Next up... perhaps I will give their 15 Solera a try. So many varieties, so little time. I prefer the presence of a Islay, or Highland myself. Bowmore 12 being a particularly favoured Islay.
