robaus Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 For your continued drinking pleasure here is a list of The Ten Best Scotch Whiskies from The Independent UK A couple of them blended, but mainly single malts. For those too lazy to flick through the links, here is the complete list. Refer to Independent for tasting notes. Although Scotch like any other food or drink is an individual taste, this could be a starting point for your sampling. Johnnie Walker Black Label Lagavulin 16 Year Old Glenrothes 1985 Old Pulteney 12 Year Old Clynelish 14 Year Old Auchentoshan 18 Year Old Asyla Highland Park Bailie Nicol Jarvie Talisker 10 Year Old Have fun tasting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 My top malts are: Ardbeg Lagavulin Laphroaig (all 3 from the island of Islay - beautiful spot well worth visiting) All very smoky peaty seaweedy flavours... as Laphroaig's motto says "Love it or hate it" It seems we have almost identical whisky preferences. Add Talisker and Caol Isla to your list and you have my top 5. All from Islay except Talisker which is from Skye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy it with soda when I'm in LOS but it can't be compared with the single malts, even though it is made from single malts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was though in highschool that JW is mostly made from grain, not malt..... BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robaus Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 MunchM, >>It seems we have almost identical whisky preferences. Add Talisker and Caol Isla to your list and you have my top 5. All from Islay except Talisker which is from Skye. ...I'm glad we agree on some things I haven't tried Caol Isla. I notice on the map of Islay it's further up the east coast after Ardbeg... I must have been too pissed to drive further that afternoon after visiting Laphroaig and Lagavulin. Another good reason to return one day. I went to Bowmore on Islay also, but it didn't do much for me. Didn't have the distinct strong flavours of the other Islays I like. The Independent's reviewer probably got a bit of tea money from Johnnie Walker. Sláinte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 I was though in highschool that JW is mostly made from grain, not malt..... JW Black is blended from about 40 malts and grains (I was once told 47), predominantly malts (coz there are only a few grain whiskies), which are all at least 12 years old and some are much older. There is a JW experience at their offices in Bangkok, where they show you how it's made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
