Tyson had me try some Scapa 12 with a little distilled water in it, this was by far
The BEST scotch I’ve ever had, so smooth with great flavor and no hint of alcohol.

This will be on my Christmas list.

Interesting link.... http://www.awa.dk/whisky/scapa/   :)
    And a little whisky humour....  :lol:  .. A guy walks into a bar and orders a shot of whisky. He gulps it down and peeks into his shirt pocket.
    He then orders another shot of whisky, gulps it down and peeks into his shirt pocket.
    He orders a third shot and does the same thing. After the sixth shot, he asks the bartender for the bill, pays and starts to walk out.
    Curiosity gets the better of the bartender and he says to the guy :
    "Excuse me, but I noticed that every time you drank a shot, you kept looking into your pocket. I was wondering what's in your pocket.
    " The guy slurs, "Well, I have a picture of my wife in my pocket. I keep drinking until she starts to look good." [/list:u]

That was odd.  It's fixed now, I'm not sure why it got cut off initially.  But it's good to know someone still reads it :)

Great list!  A LOT of fun to read and it was a tremendous help as I shopped for my oldest brother.  Thanks much.

Okay Tyson, you have been a busy man!  Do we need an intervention?  Just kidding.  I was shopping at my favorite liquor store a couple weeks ago, Binny's in Naperville, and they were having a demo on Scotches.  The guy had pictures of the tiny distilleries and I had the opportunity to taste some amazing Scotches.  I was shocked to find out the range of flavors in various scotches.  Some with a strong smoky "peety" character (spelling?) and some with completely different taste profile.  

This is all very interesting because much of what I do for a living involves developing new alcohol based beverages for alcohol companies.  Unfortunately, much of my work is focused on un-complex liquids like vodkas and gins or FMB's.  Nothing complex like good scotch, bourbon or cognac.   I get to taste everything out there because my customers (names of which I am not allowed to disclose) own many of the small distilleries (including many famous ones in Scotland) most people think are independent.  Many are still independently run but owned by large companies.  

I'm going off to buy a case of Woodford reserve (holiday gifts).  Don't know if you are a bourbon guy but you would probably appreciate Woodford.  It's darn tasty stuff!

Cheers,

Jack

DaveG,
I guarantee it is less fun to read than it was to write! :)

jackman,
I got a bottle of Woodford Reserve at home right now as a matter of fact :D  Good stuff.

Hey, maybe drinking Single Malts can give you ideas of various flavors to try together for the other beverages you develop - you could even expense it!  Did I ever mention you have a friggin cool job?

Hello Tyson,
    Thanks for your continuing research into the world of Scotch. As I go over your listings , I pulled up Beekman Liquors in NYC to see what some of these cost per bottle. Spotted three priced at $2,100.00  :o . Might be of interest to some, was of interest to me. Here's

Yeah, I don't think I'll be spending that much on a bottle of scotch anytime soon.  However, if someone wants to send me a dram to try out and write up, I'll be more than happy to oblige :D
