Re: Scotch...
I agree on neat, but whether it is a fine Single Malt or a blend (there are some high end blends that are wonderful) I still prefer rocks. I don't use any additional water just the melt . . .
High-end blends that I have tried: Johnny Walker Green Label, Johnny Walker Blue Label, Chivas Royal Salute (I have never bought these, better to find a neighbor to do that . . . )
I still prefer Single Malts, but these deserve praise as well. In reference to Skiuseme's lumber comment. I like the strong Peat flavored Scotches, Laphroaig being my favorite, but Talisker and Ardbeg are very Peaty as well. These basically taste like a campfire, so maybe you meant burnt lumber. Mmmmmmmm . . .
Aldo,
Scotch is pretty expensive in the UK. I have found some great deals in Duty Free when the exchange rate favors us (it doesn't now . . . ). However, whether it is Australian Wine or Scotch or whatever, it is hard to beat Beverages and More:
