I just got a bottle of Glenmorangie 10. 

It doesn't suck.

Its very light, not too smoky or peaty.  Honey, and a slight salty tongue, it needs a couple rocks and a dash of water to open it.  Dry. 

Amusing sidenote, the bottleshop guy carded me.  I could not convince him I am almost 37.  I guess they have a lot of teenagers buying very good Scotch.





Hahaha, fun.  Some of those people are ridiculous, and some just don't give a damn.  A couple weeks ago I had lost my drivers license and had a hell of a time getting liquor with my stupid paper DMV temporary license, most places would just say NO NO NO NO, or not ask for ID at all.  The guy at this one liquor store though had me get the title and registration for my vehicle  to compare with my paper license, and read them for like 25 minutes before saying "okay, cool" and completing the transaction.  I was purchasing a bottle of inexpensive single malt, and a 4-pack of some black English brew.

If you're all cool, and you can roll a few miles, you should tell that guy to go fuck himself.  But its understandable if he's the last option.




Yeah, the problem was most places wouldn't accept my paper ID for alcohol sales.  Fucking stupid Vons would even accept my passport when I finally found it.  So I lodged an official complaint with Safeway corporation and the manager called me saying he's very sorry but he doesn't want my business unless I use a state drivers license and not a passport.  Fuckin' California.  :?

I guess as a private business they can do whatever they want.  I like to remind those people, though, that the drivers license is meant to be a drivers license and not an identification for other things. 

I've always thought the State should offer a "vice card" that has nothing on it but your picture and your birthday.  No name, no other info.  I don't think its fair to require private citizens to trust any fuckinasshole with your name and address.

Alert!

After reading a good review on Teacher's I bought a bottle and loved it. Great deal at about $16.. that bottle had a weighty, oily feel to it and a good amount of peat flavor, minimal burn.. good stuff.

The next bottle I bought wasn't good. Tastes like wet wood, no peat, feels more like Listerine in the mouth rather than smooth n' oily.

This is because it's a blended scotch, I reckon. Big difference between the two bottles!

I picked up the "cutest little bottle" of red Bush for 6 bucks at the liquor store, along with another "cute little bottle" of Irish Cream and a 4 pack of Guinness.  Did some Irish car bombs and sipped on the leftover whiskey.  It was enjoyable.  Technically you're supposed to use Jameson, but I didn't feel like fleshing out the cash for a whole fifth of that when it was mostly going to be used in what's essentially a mixed drink.

They taste like chocolate cake.  Sooo good.

I cant tell the difference between mixes, or single malts, or what a whiskey is, and what a scotch is.

But, lagavulun is good stuff.

Whisky is alcohol distilled from grain (and often sugar is mixed in). Whiskey is the same, just the "Scotch English" spelling. Bourbon refers to the American style whisky, usually stronger, sweeter and less refined. Scotch is just whisky made in Scotland, no better than anything else by default, but generally seems smoother. Irish whisky seems less complex than Scotch or bourbon, a little more watery- but it's all to the drinkers taste.

"Single Malt" is whisky made from one type of grain only, not blended with another batch of whisky. Blends are just that, a blend of different grains and/or whiskies distilled from various distilleries.

Water, ingredients, aging and distilling techniques account for the differences in tastes. I prefer the "peat" tasting whiskies.. the most affordable one with good and consistent taste, to me, is McClelland Islay.

I like the ones that taste like wood poured out of a leather sack.
