Where in Montreal can I find a decent selection of single malt scotch? Is the Signature SAQ in downtown Montreal my best bet? Their offerings seem to have really slimmed down and, for the life of me, I can’t figure out the...

New York gets back into the liquor auction game.

I like and recommend Macallan. It is a highland single malt scotch. Macallan is aged in used sherry casks. This imparts a smoothness and some sweetness. Comes in multiple grades (ages), I think they have an age in your price range,...

This means that you’ll have to avoid Scotches that are aged in used sherry casks (or port, or other wine casks). The upshot of this is absolutely no Macallan, and no Balvenie Double Wood, or Springbank 10. The Balvenie 15 I...

We were looking for a $60 scotch gift as well recently and went with the Highland Park 12 ($54.95) which was really well received. Also back the Balvenie 12 and Macallan 10 options, both at $60. For an interesting new Gaelic...

This may not be useful in your decision, but I read once that if you were a guest in Buckingham Palace and asked for scotch, what you would be served is The Macallan.

I am partial lately to Balvenie. Though Macallan is fairly well-known, it’s for a good reason. You may also want to try Aberlour—I’ve visited the distillery and it is wonderful. (It’s a Speyside...

My Father In Law loves Scotch and I want to buy him a nice bottle for Christmas but here is the problem, I have done the high end blended thing in past years and I don’t want to get him another bottle of something he...

I need to buy a couple of bottles of high end scotch as gifts. I haven’t found any high end liquor stores in Seattle in the couple of months I’ve been here, can anyone give me a hand? I’m looking for Talisker 25...

Would it be possible to share his last meal?

, but generally that’s the rule. I’d have to say that many people who enjoy scotch generally enjoy the stuff coming from Speyside, such as Macallan (which is super sweet and fruity because they cask their scotch in...

The Macallan and Oban are both pricey single-malt Scotches. I would not choose either of these for a beginning Scotch drinker. I’d instead opt for a blended Scotch whisky, which tends to be smoother and less full of the...

drinking scotch. What are you drinking? Scotch What type? macallan 25 How much for a shot? It was free, dummy. :-<
