A variety of notes with hints of sweetness. Aging can bring on all different tasting notes. I don’t care for scotch and Peaty notes.

I have a bottle of Macallan 10 and just can't get into it... it's also very smooth, which I can appreciate, but just don't care for the flavor of it straight and haven't even found a good mix for it (not that I've tried much). |

I have a 25 year macallan that I procured through a golf tourney that I'm waiting for a Chiefs back to back SB win to pop. I had a sweet bottle of Pappy's but ****ing OTWP 58 has nine damn lives. |

Tried a couple of Bourbons at Fox Cigar Bar and Lounge last week and they just were too harsh for me. Elijah Craig and Buffalo Trace. Tried them neat.
I guess I'll always be a scotch guy, Oban 14 being my go to.

The explosion of craft bourbons, and more recently of high barrel proof bourbon, has made the experience of trying new bourbons much more interesting. I have traditionally been a big scotch fan (Lagavullin Distillers edition and Macallan 18 year being my favorite), but more recently have dug into the craft bourbon world. If you like wine barrel finishes, Dave Phinney's Savage & Cooke produces some really interesting selections. For high proof, two recent favorites are from Woodinville and the single barrel selection at Peerless.
For scotch fans, you might have fun expanding your horizons to look at Swedish and Indian whisky. From India, Amrut and Paul John are making some great single malts. In Sweden, Mackmyra, Spirit of Hven and Box are also making great whisky. The style of most of these is similar to lowland scotch so a bit lighter for those who aren't into the big peaty scotch flavors. |

I've drank quite a few "nice" scotches in my day. I'm somebody that tries something over and over and over again until I'm convinced I don't like it. All that and I'm not made for scotch drinking.
Now I'll never turn down a good liquor and I'm guessing I'll come to the same conclusion the next time around, but your tastes change. Bourbon suits me much better right now. |
