Get a bottle of Canada's finest in that list.Glen Breton Rare...I am Canadian!
Even though they were granted 'Scotch' statis, if it wasn't made in Scotland, it's just not Scotch. Or to steal a line, "If it's Nae Scottish, it's crap.."
Though it is a fine Whiskey...

A nice article about Scotch..
Scotch - almost as nice as doing a jig while wearing a kilt on a cool autumn night..
Actually, if you do both at the same time, it's great..

Your spelling is incorrect, but good find. I have never heard of that one before. Time to try a new one.. :drunken:

Oops... can't even claim the letters were close together. Old Pulteney is the correct spelling.
They have a 21 year old as well that is carried by the LCBO. I have yet to see it in stock.
I love the peaty, smoky ones. I'm currently enjoying an Ardbeg 10 year old I picked up in the US (not currently in the LCBO, alas) and also enjoy Bowmore's 15 year old Mariner.
What I have really enjoyed is the "Whiskey Challenge" nights held at a pub called "The Feathers" in Scarborough. You pay a fee, sit down at a table with others, and try 8 scotches out of a list of 10. You then try to match the scotch with the tasting notes, getting 1 point if you get the region right, and 3 points if you get the scotch. Highest score at the end of the night wins a prize, usually a bottle.
The people are great, it's a lot of fun, and you get to try lots of different and rare scotches, including cask strength (one night I got to sample a year old Macallan). The price varies depending on what scotches are in the challenge.
This month's challenge is "10 of the Best":

They also have 450 different single malts in stock.
I first went because my wife took me as a birthday gift, and we've gone a couple of times since, but not recently, alas. (Reservations are recommended).
And no, I'm not affiliated with The Feathers in any way; just a very satisfied customer.

All the whiskeys are good and i'll take a dram of whatever your pouring
I like the idea of a Cdn "scotch".... but its not scotch, and it costs to much.
you can put ice, soda or asian breast milk in yours, leave mine neat and we' can sit and drink all evening.

You are right.. Adding anything to scotch is blasphemous... Neat is where it's at...
Agreed.And it has to be served in the right vessel of course.
I'll take two.....
I think it's time we have a GTAM "If it's not scotch, it's crap" night out....
23.
Aye, I like scotch well enough.
Here's my current scotch shelf.

Bought a bottle of The Macallan Cask Strength last weekend.Holy Jeezuz Mary n Joseph! This stuff is unreal.The flavour is awesome and almost too much.I know i said that "neat" is the only way to go,but just tiny splash of h2o is needed to tame this beast.
A couple of drops of room temperature water releases the esters from the scotch, and is a preferred method of drinking to get the most flavour. And yes, the shape of the glass does matter.
