Dalwhinnie - wow. I had this after a few hits of The Oban.. and the bartender was generous... but nonetheless, this one is now my favorite. It is just an all around excellent scotch, the pinnacle so far.
The Macallen - A highlands malt. This is good, but didn't strike me. I'll have to try it again...
The Oban - Tried this one at a hotel bar in Orlando, FL. It was very satisfying. Definitely belongs on the list of must-try if you want to know what you are talking about when it comes to Scotch.
Highland Park - A smoky and smooth scotch. This one is a classic.
Glenlivet - Old Standby.. You can get this one at any bar. Glenlivet is owned by Seagram's. One might assume that this would be the "Budweiser" of Scotch, since it is so common, but don't knock it.. it is a pretty good scotch... give it a try.
Lagavulin - Whoo buddy! This one is serious. Peaty, medicinal, some describe as "iodine". Simple and complex at the same time. Strong flavor and nice aroma.
Caol Isla
Talisker - Smoky and peaty, with a good malt flavor. This is a very good scotch
GlenFiddich Yum. Chocolate notes. Very smooth and easy to drink. I was pleasantly surprised with this one
The Ardbeg - This very peaty, and complex. A good islay, and a strong one.
The Balvenie - 10 yr - A Highlands malt. Has orange and honey notes, with some smokiness. This one relaxes me.
Laphroaig - This is my favorite. Islay malt, very peaty, but full of distinct flavor. It's refreshing to me.. not an easy drink to start with if you don't drink scotch, but it's very good.

I'll bring up beer
The Heineken mini-keg is pretty awesome. I had one before, but forgot how sweet it is.... the beer tastes better than the bottle. I recommend
OK, so I'm always bad at this.. I start putting some crap on the internet and never gets very far because I lose interest. So I leave it to my blog viewers to keep me engaged somehow... even if your comments are derogatory and inappropriate, I wll sureley appreciate them, as they will keep me going knowing that somebody cares about my silly hobbies.
With that, allow me to introduce this blog... No, i'm not going to do all the "about me" garbage.. because nobody really cares. I will be posting my occasional thoughts and experiences on 2 things:
Scotch - I'm really into it these days. More than beer. I love beer. But I now have a dram of scotch after dinner instead of a beer.
Auto - I currently have 5 cars.. all of which needs some attention in some way or another. I will document my more interesting repairs and maintenance activities as they occur.
