Any scotch lovers out there?

I cracked my Glenmorangie thistle head glass. It was my favourite. It's a sad day.

Good timing for thread revival….sampling this deliciousness today.
Excuse the blurry…stupid phone case got scratched on the camera area.
Buffalo Trace. Quite good.

Buffalo Trace is a Bourbon Whiskey, it's made in Kentucky.
This is a Scotch Whisky thread, scotch comes from Scotland.
Zły kraj.
What is this Reddit? Try to be helpful and get poo pooed by the users....Buffalo Trace is a Bourbon Whiskey, it's made in Kentucky.

Thankfully we don't have a downvote button...with a counter.
BIL was letting me sample some of that when we were in AZ. To be honest though it's lost on me. One shot of whisky/bourbon/scotch tastes pretty much the same as the next. I'm not one for sipping. Pour me shot, I'll toast your health and boom it's gone.
They always run sales on BH. It was $5 off in August.
Some of the Japanese whiskies are "scotch equivalents"Buffalo Trace is a Bourbon Whiskey, it's made in Kentucky.

A bit of spirit snobbery....
Japanese, Scotts and Canadians make Whisky, plural Whiskys.
Irish and Americans make Whiskey, plural Whiskeys.
Bumbu is a premium rum , and quite nice . You could fill an encyclopedia with stories of the rum economy that built America .
Scotch whisky now can originate from Japan or Cape Breton . As a Scotch style whisky . And kidding aside , 80?% of the “ scotch drinkers “ would find it ok.
I’m having a season of vintage Ports . Those fabulous fortified barrel aged wines from Portugal and Spain if you have to. It’s a whole new turn. I was treated to a glass from a blend that included Port from 1880 . Stupid expensive, but I wasn’t paying . Port , it’s my thing this month .

Just finished a bottle of 15 yo Glenfiddich and it was good. However, my present go to is a bourbon. Elijah Craig.
I alternate between them all really. Irish Whiskey, Bushmills, Jameson Stout etc.
Bourbon, B&H, Breckenridge, Maker’s Mark.
Scotch, my go to typically is Glenmorangie and pretty much any starting with “Glen”. Lol. Kinda stick with the lower price points of Highland Park and avoid the fancy cask stuff like carribean cask etc. not that I would turn my nose up at it when offered. Just won’t spend my money to add it to the liquor cabinet.
Maybe it’s getting old and pallet change? I don’t shoot or chug much any more. Takes me longer to sip a whisky or scotch than most drink a beer.
For Canada, I support the local fella down the road, Forty Creek. I have a few others like NL‘s Signal Hill or the standard Crown with Ginger or coke for the ahem…..ladies that mix their booze with pop. Lol
There are very few spirits I don’t enjoy But, I appreciate middle of the road pricing and decent quality. Tequila, Rhum, Gin and Vodka are all nice. I generally mix Vodka with a flavour Sparking water of sorts. The rest, I drink neat or maybe with some ice.

Forty Creeks Double Barrel is my new recent favourite cheap whiskey.
Pike Creek is also a nice Canadian whiskey to try if you haven’t yet. It’s finished in Rum barrels which isn’t something I often like in Scotch’s but it works well with a Canadian whiskey.
Rum was a poor man’s booze , made from the tailings of sugar production, dirt cheap to make , pretty short aging process ( in colonial America it was weeks) . Distilleries were everywhere.
Now they sell the empty barrels to the fancy pants Scotch distillers, to create a unique flavour so you can stand out from the other 150 makers .
It fascinates me .

And then the whiskey/bourbon distillers sell their used barrels to breweries who age stouts in them.

Bourbon barrels are only used once to make Bourbon, then they are sold to Scotch, Irish and Canadian whiskee makers.
