I figured many of you are professional drinkers, judging by some of your posts.

What is your opinion on a good single malt that won't break the bank? What about blended scotch, like Johnny Walker? Black? Red?

I am a single malter, as I don't drink alot I prefer quality over quantity my favorites are:

Lagavulin
Laphroaig
Caol ila

all 16+ years

Don't know prices in US, in my country Taxes are quite low


matched with a good Cuban cigar (No embargo here):

Montecristo n.2 n.4
Partagas D4

Count me in on the single malt team. Recommending single malts is really difficult, as a light Speyside and an Islay have absolutely nothing in common. Personally I favour the heavily peated ones like Arbeg, some Bruichlaich and Bunnahabhain, always with a drop of water, no ice.

I see we're on the same page here. Though I often prefer the somewhat younger, stronger ones, but the older Laphroig are certainly very drinkable in deed!

I also replace the cigar with good chocolate, instead of water did you try some fresh snow, like peaty taste whiskies

It really depends on your personal tastes...while I recognize the very popular Islay distilleries as making great whisky, I can't drink it myself. I don't really appreciate a lot of peat, seaweed, iodine, etc. so I tend to go for Highlands or Speyside malts. I highly recommend Highland Park, Macallan, BenRiach, and Cragganmore.

Also a nice, though somewhat subjective, chart I found on the internets the other day might help you:

I order a single malt every once in a while but I never remember the names.
They usually start with an 'M' lol
12+ years, peaty, and neat.

I am not much of a spirits drinker, however I had this and thought it was very good.
