'Bout time to bump this up again I think!

I'm a big fan of Balvenie: 12 yoa, 15 yoa, Doublewood, Portwood. They're all very well made.

Glenfiddich is good as is Glenlivet. I am partial to the single malts but JW Black is good and I learned to drink Scotch on JW Red.

I have an unopened bottle of 18 yoa Macallan I received as a gift when I retired from the Coast Guard. Not sure when I will open it, saving it for a "special occasion", just not sure what that will be but I'll know it when it happens.

I was lucky enough to be stationed in Scotland in the Navy in 92 and we'd goto the different distilleries and taste the lovely liquid! :)

Now @ "Pete's Pub" (the name of my basement bar) I have 3 bottles of scotch
Johnny Walker Black
Johnny Walker Green (pobably my favorite JW)
Dewers almost gone.

Now, I had a Macallam(sp?) 25 after a phenominal steak dinner a few years ago that I wish I could have more of. It was perfect! Although we drank about 4 or 5 bottles of wine previous to that glass of scotch. but man it was good! Smooth and tasty!

Cigars...I'm a huge fan of Arturo Fuente :)

Johnny Walker Black is my drink, usually mixed with ginger or soda. I also love Johnny Gold, Green or Blue on the rocks, but save them for special occasions due to price.

Ever have the Green? Gotta love it! And I like a little ginger with my scotch at times too, soda as well. But I do love a nice on the rocks too!

Fuente's are good. My cigar of choice these days are Rocky Patels. I favor the Honduran or Nicaraguan cigars as IMO they are more like Cubans. Dom Reps seem to be very harsh to me with the exception of some very expensive brands.

I'm mostly a big beer geek, but when I drink liquor it's scotch. I usually have a couple of bottles around. I don't know enough to really know what's good or not yet, but I'm continuing my research. Right now I have a bottle of Glenlivet.

I've had scotch a few times, but still haven't developed the taste for it. Maybe in a few years. I'm still on whiskey right now.

I enjoy scotch, especially at the cigar bar... Anyways i dont have much experiance with the single malts, just the glenfidich (proabably wrong spelling) and glenlevit. Johnny black is my usually but will go gold, green or blue if the situation calls for it. I dont care for the red. I also have a bottle of chivas reserve 12yr that is in the decanter right now. Speaking of liquor anyone try some rye? Looking for a good canidate to try.

You can't go wrong with

Templeton Rye On a side note a buddie had a bottle of JW Blue the other night, good stuff, but I don't think you'll catch me paying $200.00 a bottle for it!
I've spent most of my life golfing - the rest I've just wasted.

In my bag todayâ¦.

I have been a bourbon drinker ever since I started drinking liquor, but I recently have developed a real love for Scotch. I bought a bottle of Glenlivet and enjoyed it. Then I was out to dinner and asked the manager to recommend a Scotch to me and he brought me Highland Park...this stuff...it's just the nectar of the Gods. I went and bought a bottle of it at Binny's today. Well worth the $40 price tag.

I picked up a nice like old fashioned glass on clearance for $0.75 and I am enjoying it neat right now. I am really loving this whisky (I keep adding an "e" to whisky..." and I was hoping some of you who know Scotch better than me can throw some other brands out there for me to try.

Thanks!

A good start is to try whisky from the six different regions and see what kind of whisky you like best, if it is the smoky whisky of the Islay and Island or if it is the softer and sweeter Lowlands. A simple start is the Six classic malts selection which contains:
Lagavulin 16 years, Islay .
Cragganmore 12 years, Speyside .
Talisker 10 years, Islands .
Glenkinchie 10 years, Lowlands .
Oban 14 years, west Highlands .
Dalwhinnie 15 år, Highlands .

My personal favourite distillery's are (depending on the mood I'm in)
Glenmorangie,Bruichladdich, Laphroaigh. But I'm in no way locked into these three distillery's as many other whiskylovers I tend to buy more whisky than I drink.

Good luck and welcome to the correct spelling of whisky.

I still wonder when this transition will happen for me, I got into Walker for a little bit. I love bourbon but one wiff of scotch now makes my body twitch. Right now im stuck Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit until the stores get more of 20 year Van Winkle.

    • I kind of like this interpretation especially if you think about it the unplayable rule would probably put you in a better spot.  using back on the line releief.  
    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.
