Scotch anyone?

I've seen Islay Mist on the shelves, have yet to try it though. Low price does make it seem sketchy.
Keep us posted. I could use a cheap peaty blend.
It's not scotch, but I just came back from NYC with two bourbons that aren't available here. Bulleit 10 and a Russell's Reserve Single Barrel that was supposedly commissioned by the liquor store I was at (Astor Wines in NOHO.)

Not bad indeed but where did you find it for that price? My bottle was over $200.

So here is a verdict. I tried the Islay Mist last night just for a tasting. Tried it neat and a mouthful (yes, giggity) to get a better idea.
It is indeed worth the price (at $27 now onn sale) Its cheaper than red label.
As you guys guessed, its not as smooth obviously. It is aged 8 years (according to the label) but it is peaty and i enjoyed it.
Again, its not as smooth but like Matt Rain said, its a cheap peaty one.

Where about or which resort you going to in Bora Bora? Was there in June last year...let me know if you need any info about it. You'll have better luck of picking up the whisky in NZ than in Fiji. Also, everything is super premium price that part of the world except for coconuts and tuna...(man, I can go for some poisson cru, make sure to try in local in Tahiti).

There's nothing wrong with 'slummin once in a while
No sir. Nothing wrong with it. Not all scotch drinking has to involve a snobbish evening. Only most of them
Also, i usually add a little water to my scoth so im sure thatll help make it a bit more smooth specially since McClelland which i was previously talking about being a good cheap single malt, has been going up in price. Last year it was 36/bottle. yesterday it was 44. 8 bucks in one year is too much of a price hike if you ask me. Still cheap for a good single malt though
All scotch has gone up quite dramatically in the past year.
I quite enjoy 40 Creek Spiked Honey. It's a good flavoured whiskey.
Take it camping or anytime id be rocking a beer.
Honey Jack is just too sweet.
Urggh not my thing..though i did have one in scotland a few years back that was much nicer than the others i have had..
Full spring detailing of the SUV and swapped out the trackbike coolant among a list of other things and had a few different scotches to reward myself. Finished with the Glenmorangie Rare 18.

Pulled the cork off my bottle of Cardhu 12 year last night... Good whiff of maple, but with no overwhelming sweetness, peat or smoke (don't get me wrong, this one is a great mix though), that's about as smooth as it gets in the $75 price range single malts.
