This thread is really perfect for me - I'm a whiskey snob. My favorite used to be Jack Daniels, which is what got me started on whiskey. I've never been able to drink vodka and don't really like gin, but the dark stuff goes down like water

as far as I'm concerned, Scotch Whisky is the first and last word in the genre. And as far as that goes, here's the lineup. The Gospel, according to Schaddy lol</p>

Distilled and bottled where the rivers Avon and Livet meet, in the Glen of Livet, just south of Ballindoch, Scotland, this is the finest drink ever concocted by human kind:</p>

You probably know it as the Scotch that comes in the dark green bottle with parchment paper labeling, and I, too, have 7 bottles that fit the description. I have three that look like the one pictured. None cost less than $49. Every drop was worth every cent. There is simply nothing that compares to the quality found within these bottles. It has a warm, peaty taste and really does have a fruity, mellow nose. For my money, there isno drink on the earth finer than the Glenlivet.</p>

Now, I've sampled my fair share of blended whiskeys, Scotch, Irish, Canadian and otherwise. But I honestly don't prefer them. The only blended whiskies that I will drink are as follows, though they all rank well below the single malts in quality: Bushmill's, JW Blue - only had it once, it's not worth the outrageous price, JW Black and JW Green, which is my favorite blended whisky. Jameson's is garbage, in all honesty. It's only popular because it is marketed well in North America. Flame away, especially for that last comment.
