Malt Whisky, malt whisky, it comes in a glass....
 

As an offshoot from that other thread, how about a whisky whore's
listing of what's in your whisky cabinet? I'll start..

At home (in no order):
Johnny Walker Black
McCallan 18yo
Balvenie 15yo
Bowmore 17yo
Jaya Palm whisky (from Cambodia); no age statement
SangSom Thai whisky (for gags); no age statement

In my desk:
Yamazaki 12yo
Balvenie 12yo

In my whisky cabinet at the Whisky Club:
A'bunadh (no age statement)
Rosebank 1990 ("Connoisseur's Choice" line from Gordon & McPhail)

It seems that I like to have Speysides at home and Islays in town.
Never noticed that before.

Balvenie Double Wood (12 yo)

That's it for me. Frankly, I can't afford $50/bottle or more to just
try something I might not like. I think we need another single malt
tasting event at a clave. From all accounts, the last one went
swimmingly.

Yeah, but you're not a teacher barely making a living. ;-)

When I was in Beltramo's (a fancy liquor store in Atherton, CA) the
other day I saw a bottle of scotch priced at $7800. Ridiculous.

As of right now:

Bruichladdich 10 y.o.
Bunnahabhain 12 y.o.
Caol Ila 12 y.o.
Laphroaig 10 y.o.

but I won't replace the Laddie or the Bunnahabhain
after I drink them up. I guess I'm becoming an old
fart because I don't believe that variety is all it's
cracked up to be and certainly not the spice of life.
I find something I like and that's that.

The single malt tasting was a complete success, a total
roffian tour de force and a delightful evening. The problem
was most of those bastids decided they wanted to go *FISHING*
the next morning !! And what's worse they insisted that I
arise from a perfectly fine drunken stupor to accompany them.

If I ever attend another Clave tasting I'm going to station
an armed guard outside my sleeping quarters.

come to Penn's and I'll find a bear to stand outside for you.......and keep
that gawd-awful peat bog crap for youownself. If you want to bring along a
bit of Old Fitz, or Maker's Mark, that's another story.

When it comes to Penn's I never make it past the looking
at the map stage. It's just damn near impossible to get
there from here. ;-)

And that's another nice feature of an Islay single malt,
it's the OP scotch that's never bummed.
