I am pretty new to this whole scotch thing, but boy can it be wonderful. By no means am I an afficionado (that's a fancy word for pretentious), but I know what I like. I am currently doing some work with a friend and coworker helping him with a multi media center. Recently in preparation for this I was at his house helping him with some home network issues. Well long story short it didn't go quite as easily as expected. This guy is most generous, and in return for my work he gave me a bottle of The Macallan. The Macallan is a 12 year old Single Malt scotch and it tastes incredible. It is so smooth and easy that I had to share it with you.
Typically when I buy scotch I actually just get myself some dewars, which is your average blended stuff that you can usually find at any given bar and not pay out the nose for; I mean even Chop Suey has it. Apparently one of the many secrets to this scotch is that is is exclusively aged in Sherry Oak Casks from spain. I'm not sure if that is really awesome or not, but this stuff tastes pretty good. It's not overpowering and in my opinon if you are new to scotch and looking for something really easy on the pallette this is the stuff to get started with. Way better than Dewar's... 2 thumbs up. Anywhoo here is a link to the website, so please give it a whirl because this definitely has my seal of approval.
