Tyson,

How far away from the Denver Audio Show is the bar where you sample all these fine scotch products ?? I'd think a few out of towner's might be interested. [/list:u]

[Tyson]

About 30 minutes.  I'll be at the show probably Friday night and most of the day Saturday and Sunday.  I'll be glad to take some people to Pint's Pub after the show.

[Tyson]

Added Laphroaig 15 and Springbank 10 - 100 proof.

Tyson,

Thanks for taking us to Pint's Pub and recommending some good scotch.  I promise that for my next visit I will be able to drink more of it.

[Tyson]

Isle of Jura 16 added.

zybar, when you come back, I'll bust out my personal collection of scotch for you

[sunshinedawg]

I would like to thank you as well, the Glenmorangie was excellent!

[Tyson]

Updated Glendronach 15.

[Jay S]

Tyson,

It isn't scotch, but you may want to try Middleton irish whiskey if you get a chance.  It is made in small quantities and is difficult to find outside of Ireland.  From what I understand, only a single cask gets made in a year and in some years, none at all.  A friend was in Dublin recently for work and brought back a bottle.  It is incredibly smooth and mellow.  I will buy a bottle the first chance I get.  In the meantime, I'm going to accept any drinks he offers!

[Tyson]

Thanks for the heads up, I'll definitely keep an eye out.  I just finished my bottle of Oban 14, and am close to finishing another couple of bottles, so it will be time to go shopping again soon.  There are a couple of really first class liquor stores that I have access to around here, so I'll check it out.

[Tyson]

Added Royal Lochnagar 12.

[woodsyi]

Tyson,

This place has consistantly beat the best prices around Washington, D.C. area.  I check on them periodically to see what specials they have.  I got some good bargains.

WoW !! Got a spare $34,000.00 ... http://www.missionliquor.com/Store/Qstore/Qstore.cgi?CMD=009&DEPT=000002&CAT=1077653751&BACK=A0007A1B0000002B1

[Tyson]

I actually used to have their site bookmarked, but with shipping it always ended up being more expensive than the local stores here (which have pretty good prices).  But if I lived close by, I'd definitely be hitting mission liquor

[Tyson]

Added Ben Nevis 10 and updated Dalmore 12

[Tyson]

Added Glenmorangie Burgundy Wood (yum!) and added Talisker 20 to my "Top 11" scotches.

[Tyson]

Added Coal Ila 18.

[Tyson]

Added Bushmills 16 and Clynelish 14.

Quality/price index (April 2000)[/b]
state: c=closed, d=dismantled/demolished, m=maltings only, n=new

Distillery: Fairly obvious. The occasional entries out of alphabetical order are different brands from the distillery immediately above.

Age: Ususally given as age in the cask or year when put in the cask. Where a year is given, an age may be given as well if differs from < present day > - < year >.

Proof: Percent by volume of alcohol. Multiply by 1.75 to get degrees proof. 40%=70, 43%=75, 60%=105, cask strength may vary but is usually around 60%.

Cost/£: Typical 1995 UK prices in pounds sterling. Add maybe 5% for 1996.

Rating: From Michael Jackson's book. Anything below about 75 he regards as flawed in some way. 75-85 is acceptable to good, 85+ is very good indeed.

Comments: Islay and Jura malts are indicated as is anything which reduces confusion about which malt is which.
