Scotch whiskey Experts?

As a personal opinion, The only thing that would improve Scotch's taste is a good single malt Irish wiskey as a chaser/ palate cleanser. CZ

Dunna dis the Scotch, lads!

I developed a taste for Scotch several years ago, but I think single malts are highly over rated: I much prefer a good blended Scotch. When it comes right down to it, the only difference between an Irish whiskey and a Scotch whisky is the spelling: both can be good, or not, depending on your taste.
By th' by: as I finished typing the word "whisky" it came up as misspelled on the sites spell check. Bloody Saxon spellcheck programmers; thinking "whisky" is a misspelling!

Well, I like it so much, I think I'll have a dram right now! I don't drink very much of it, so I usually treat myself to what I like best. I like some blended whisky OK, but I rarely buy it anymore. My preference is Speyside single malt and I have yet to taste a blend that comes close.

Cuda, I wouldn't throw that bottle away. Somebody will want it.

LOL, You mean the guy setting in the cab of the back hoe, pulling the building down, or the fireman manning a hose some night?

I think your best bet is to take a page from PT Barnum, gather all the fluff blurbs about it that you can find, put them and it on Craigslist, and see if old PT was right.

Problems, problems, everybody has problems. CZ

Aww Laddy, ye might be a wantin to check yer sources. Here, straight frum the Wiki's mouth,

"water of life". (Intoxicating liquor, and especially whiskey, is also sometimes referred to in Ireland as "the craythur".[5])

Most Irish pot still whiskey is distilled three times, while most (but not all) Scotch whisky, is distilled twice. Peat is rarely used in the malting process, so that Irish Whiskey has a smoother finish as opposed to the smoky, earthy overtones common to some Scotches.

It's thu taste o' the bog what grits me teeth and puckers me tounge.
Putuii. CZ
