Cass. That's a great reason to go the route of the javachik!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ok. Random question that I knew the Bitches would be the best hivemind for.
Could you recommend a good Scotch? Well, ok, I should clarify that. I want it to be good but not the most expensive thing out there. I need to actually be able to afford to buy a bottle.

what's an affordable bottle to you? $40? $75? Less than that?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Oy. Decent blended? Single malt? Smokey or sweet and mild? I prefer glenlevit for single, dewar's is a decent blended, chivas for smokey blended and Laphroaig for smokey single.

Single malts I like:
Bruichladdich, Edradour, Glenmorangie, Highland Park, Isle of Jura, and Macallan

I keep Laphroig, Glenfiddich and Macallan on hand for guests. That's a lot of Scotch to have for a non-Scotch drinker, huh? Especially since I rarely have guests who request scotch. Hrmph!

Probably the $40-$50 range.

vw, all the ones I mentioned are in that range (and since Nora likes Macallan, go for that!).

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Second the Glenmorangie, it's my go-to--and if you like a sweeter, more cream-finished single malt you can try Aberlour--and the Isle of Jura. The Glenlivet is fantastic when you want a drier, more astringent and complex single malt, but it may not be the scotch you want for company.
