Question for Scotch drinkers.
Oct 31, 2019, 2:53 PM
|
|
APM recently watched a series about Scotch on Amazon Prime. Very interesting.
Anyhoo, I was looking around for a Scotch to try and am intrigued by Monkey Shoulder. Unfortunately, the ABC store didn't have it available in a mini-bottle, so I can't easily sample it.
Thoughts from those who have?

all the time. Tastes superb, but is the absolute worst hangover of all time. Even worse than Basil Hayden hangovers. Stuff is expensive too.

Scotch never gives me a hangover.
I don't drink enough to get drunk, though.

Been a while since I had it but it didn't go to waste.
If you looking to save a few $$$, go for it. Otherwise buy Talisker.

Nikka Coffey grain isn't prohibitively expensive.

I don't think it's much more than a $50 if you can find it on a shelf somewhere. Also, the "Coffey" is named so for the still it's produced on--nothing to do with coffee beans/grounds.

certain it was unremarkable since I can't say for sure, and I'm pretty certain that's because scotch doesn't really float my boat so much. The Macallan M is probably the best scotch pour I've had, and it should be at $300 a bottle or whatever it costs now. Peated scotch sucks. Japs do scotch better than the Scots.
That's roughly the extent of my scotch wisdom.

Not a fan of Monkey Shoulder at all. And I love peated

scotch.
I would recommend Ardbeg as your first peated - 10 year. Do this before you try Laphroaig.
Islay scotch (island off the coast) is where most of the peated scotches come from, which a lot of people do not like, but I love.

I think it's a genetic thing.

I think you have a genetic predisposition for Scotch or Bourbon. I remember one day in my misspent youth thinking, " Man, I feel like drinking Scotch!". My go-to ever since.
Know lots of Bourbon drinkers that feel the same.
Just my 2¢.

But every once in a while, Ill pour from the one bottle of scotch whiskey I have. I really didn't have a taste for it until I went to Scotland and gave a few scotch flights a try. It opened my palate a little bit. The bottle is about halfway empty now, so it has aerated a little and made it much more enjoyable.
Mini bottles aren't really going to give you that full profile as its typically just a one drink pour.
