Macallan 20-always safe for Scotch virgins. The Montecristo of Scotches.

Lol @ the montecristo of scotches. Macallan is boring, not sure why it gets so many recoommendations.
You and I sound like we have similar tastes!
Go out and get yourself a Benriach Curiositas peated malt if you have never had it. It's a speyside, but it's a peat punch and wet bandaid to the face.
Edit: On the subject of neat, I drink it neat 99% of the time. However, I will put ice in my scotch on a summer's night if I'm smoking a tobacco pipe or a cigar. I think the neat nazi's need to learn to relax a bit. There is nothing wrong with an ice cube or frozen rock from time to time. However, I do demand of guests that if you are trying one of my expensive or rare scotches that you do try it neat first.
Anaxilus.:
Well, drinking w/ a cigar and pipe on a hot day is a different matter as I see it. The calculus changes quite a bit. Overly dehydrating your mouth and yourself is not an enjoyable experience. I'll give that Benriach a go!
Edit-Looks a bit light for 10 yo. Is it sufficiently rich? Watery scotches freak my palette out a bit.
CEE TEE:
^The Benriach is an anomaly for the region and more flavorful than the color suggests (had a bottle about a decade ago though).
Rumor has it that Laga adds color, BTW p:0
Don't shoot the messenger :boom:

I've had some long chats with real Scots and they assure me that American's are the only ones who care about color and even age. They are just fine with pale color and 8-10 years if they taste good. I tend to agree. I don't believe that paying for scotch past 18 year is even worth it. Some scots will even tell you aging too much makes the whisky dull and can take the taste out of it.
The Benriach isn't going to be the best thing you've ever tasted, it's for people who can't get enough peat.
BlackenedPlague:
I want an honest answer, does all scotch taste relatively the same? Or could you recommend some that isn't as harsh as Dewars?
