In that case my I sugest that you view the Bruichladdich website:
you can invest in Whisky futures.
Sorely tempted to join people in investing $100s/$1000s in casks, cases and other goodies.
It's an Islay distillery so its booze should be roughly up your street. I know it's up mine.
Re: Which Scoth is best?
You folks should come to Scotland and visit the distilleries. They give you a tour and give a free drink of whisky...

An affordable goodie.....Dufftown Glenlivet......very nice thankyou very much.......and it's sacrelidge to dilute a good single malt....I shall have to go and have a lie down in a darkened room now
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

It's not necessarily wrong to add a splash of still mineral water to a single malt. Ideally, the water should be taken from the same burn as supplied the distillery, but that isn't always practical. The water helps release a few of the complex flavours and subtleties of the drink.Originally Posted by InsaneApache

It is wrong to use tap water or any other chlorinated water, though. The stench and taste of chemicals simply drowns out any other flavour and ruins what should be the king of drinks.
Likewise those who add ice to malt whisky (or whiskey, if your taste runs to the Irish) should be pelted with mocking comments until they desist or leave the company of civilized beings.
As to what might tickle your Scotch-thirsty pallete, allow me to recommend the Edradour, a splendid dram from what is supposedly the smallest distillery in Scotland or (and here I advise you to sit down when the demand for payment arrives) the 25-year-old Macallan. Admittedly, I was drinking this in a 5-star hotel in the middle of Brussels, but it was still a little pricey.

Re: Which Scoth is best?
People put ice in their whisky? ugh...
I have to say, tap water works well with most single malts I've tried, but that might be because my tap water comes from the Highlands and is the second cleanest in Scotland (and our tap water is remarkably clean) and without chlorine and chemicals...

Re: Which Scoth is best?
ok, Gawain, what's your Orkney deal?
I've been wanting to know for a long time.
Go on, share.
Edit: what do people think of Highland Park, Old Pulteney and other Northern Isles whisky?
Re: Which Scoth is best?
Hmm ... earlier this year I had the opportunity to try an Edradour (10y, cask strength) at a whiky tasting ... yummyAs to what might tickle your Scotch-thirsty pallete, allow me to recommend the Edradour, a splendid dram from what is supposedly the smallest distillery in Scotland or (and here I advise you to sit down when the demand for payment arrives) the 25-year-old Macallan.

Drinking a great whisky at a hotel bar is somewhat decadent though
Highland Park is quite good ... I did not get too excited about Old Pulteney though
Re: Which Scoth is best?
A friend of mine and myself actually have the secret plan (secret from our wives that is) to do just that
Re: Which Scoth is best?
I just did a bit of that a few weeks ago.
Good stuff.
