Try Larceny or Knob Creek(I prefer the rye which is inexplicably cheaper).
I tend to lean toward bourbon as well, but sometimes I get the urge to drink some scotch.
I do like Glenlivet as well but prefer Auchentoshan.
Love Auchentoshan. One of my favorites, but not easy to find around here. Only available at two liquor stores that I'm aware of.
FIFY
So, if you're into the lowlands then you might want to try Glenkinchie - as part of the Johnnie Walker empire it's slightly more likely to make it to your neck of the woods than the less well travelled Auchentoshan.
Thanks I'll look for it.
Eagle Rare is quite good and is readily available around here but the price has gone up substantially.
She had it on a flight of single malts so I was not sure about the age OR price!FIFY
There are those who would react as "Aaaaaargh! She's put ice in a single malt scotch!!!! How will she appreciate the bouquet?". Such people would recommend merely a touch of water to "open it up". I am acquainted with at least one such person whose first name is "Rob".
The 10 year is one of their “lesser” offerings. They have a blend that is a bit cheaper and still tastes pretty good. The price climbs pretty quickly with their higher end stuff. If I’m going more expensive I’d probably go with Lagavulin 16 year.
A single cube in a relatively heavy pour might be acceptable, in warm weather but I usually don’t drink scotch in the summer.
Quarter Cask is definitely a bit nicer as is the 25yr old which is getting into big $ though. Love Islay Scotch and usually have a decent selection of them. Caol ILa and Lagavulin are my favs.
I saw the Islay Mist but balked because I was skeptical that it would be good at that price point. I'll have to give it a try.
