My favorite Malt is a Vanilla Malt. (Thick enough that the spoon stands up in it.)

Booker's Bourbon, Maker's Mark, Jim Beam
The trout takes the fly, the line tightens and it's like I was blind, but now I
see.

In yonder years I went elk and deer hunting with a rowdy, polite crew. The first year we were way up in the mountains {hmmm, seems like that was every year}.
I was deemed "dishwasher" since it was my first time with them.
Well, in the camp box, in the kitchen tent, I found a bottle of something about 15 years old with "Scotch" on the label. Had a wonderful time washing dishes, that night, and the next, and the next. No complaints at this end. My friend was wondering about it along come May {time to start airing the canvas again}. I told him I thought dishwashing was just the deal, especially if some of that "Scotch" was in the kit. Well, come fall the "Scotch" was in the kit, at deer camp. But then, at elk camp, something much inferior was substituted. A man must have his standards. I declined to wash dishes the next night due to the internals and a lack of good watern's. Early in the morning one of the young sports mysteriously went heading out. Later, he came back from about 60 miles away with a bottle of good "Scotch." On my arrival out of the timber, said selection was immediately shown to me, and thense placed in the kitchen kit. Needless to say, I was again washing dishes, happily! {And the young bucks didn't have to.} They always had a good fire. Good times. JHektor

Best malt is by far, Cragganmore (sherry cask if you can get it) as good as a digestive as it is as an apperitif. The Glenlivet is terrific, so is Bowmore; an
18 year old Macallan is outstanding but very expensive hence its a bit down my list, the 15 year old is nearly as good and not so expensive. Oban is a nice
light drink on a summers evening while sitting watching the ferry come in to the harbour. Longmorn is good but hard to find. Glenmorangie was my 1st malt and
a good starting point for anyone. I could go on (and on) we are spoiled for choice here in Scotland. The only 2 malts that don't suit my palate are Glen
Grant and Talisker. Both too spicey for me. We were on Skye during the summer for a short break, we rented the Old School House at Carbost (highly
recommended) about 500yds from the Talisker distillery and half a mile from a lovely small river where I had two beautiful small sea trout on a partridge and
gold. I wish I liked Talisker to go with the memory of the holiday.
DON'T forget, half as much water as single malt and preferably from the same source as the distillery, it opens up the full aroma and taste. NEVER use ice or chilled water, it dulls your senses. Slanj !

Seven pages and still noone has mentioned Glenfarclas, so I have
 . If you like Macallan (my favourite as well) you will like Glenfarclas. The distillery is
situated just around the corner from Cragganmore near Ballindalloch on the junction of the Spey and Avon (pronounced Arn). I toasted my first ever salmon many
years ago with a Macallan at the Ballindalloch hotel but Glenfarclas comes a very very close second.

My latest favorite is Longmorn's 7 year old Gaja cask single malt. Made by Springbank when their not bottling their Springbank single malt, this is really
a nice, smooth 7 year old which shares time first in a bourbon cask and then the last 1.5 years of its aging in a spanish red wine cask. Nice peat, and a very
nice scotch for people who like McCallan and other similar single malts. Ric

Berry Bros Own Glen Grant Speyside. With a little room-temp water, yum. But, as I wrote in an earlier "malt" thread some time back, if you'd put
a swallow of Famous Grouse neat into an unmarked glass, I'll bet that few of us could tell that it wasn't a single malt. A lovely pour.

but they only bottled just so much, I brought home what I could find
And Old Gooner --> "DON'T forget, half as much water as single malt and preferably from the same source as the distillery" there's a limit how much water you can fly home with

Whatever you're pouring and not charging me for is fine.
Stylistically, I prefer the Islay. The peatier the better. Laphroig has a quarter cask and a cask strength bottling that are both very nice. Talisker is a good one too. Speysides are a nice change once in a while, too light and the appeal disappears. I'll second that Famous Grouse is a good option. Bottled water, noncarbonated, room temperature is a good choice if your tap water is too chemical.
There is usually only a limited amount of damage that can be done by dull or stupid people.
For creating a truly monumental disaster, you need people with high IQs. |

I'll add a vote for Talisker 18 and 10, and I've long been a fan of Highland Park preferring the flavor profile of the 15 to the 12 and 18. My new
friend is The Singleton of Glendullan. It's a Dufftown Malt - not to be confused with The Singleton of Glen Ord or The Singleton of Auchroisk or The
Singleton of Dufftown. I think the Glenndullan drinks best with a few drops of water added. It won't blow you away, but what 12 will? At about $40,
it's just an excellent buy for the evening nightcap. Like right now.

It's a moving target for me.
Any fine singlemalt shared with friends around the campfire after a long day of fishing is my current favorite. The latest being Balvenie Double Wood shared on day four of an 11 day self-guided float trip somewhere in Alaska. Had it been any of the aforementioned malts, it would have been equally spectacular. No doubt, environment colors my perception. |
