    old scottish men who smoke cigars and drink whisky just make me imagine what my grandad "puff" was like, we called him that because he used smoke 2 cigars a day, he passed when I was 3 back when second hand smoke was an issue known but wasn't avoided in homes in scotland, I've probably had the equivalent of 2 cigars just being to see him as a baby, he hid his lung cancer in the end and just wanted the last moments of his life to be happy but I remember his face at least and his deep glasweigian voice

    I actually love cask strength (55%-75% alcohol) and is mostly what I sip now, neat.
    You really get alot more flavor that way and I like the burn (I also like spicy food too,) People keep recommending that I water it down to mellow it out and they dont understand at all what I like about it.

      I believe in a blenders standpoint it is a practice to produce a mixture of scotch and water at a 2:1 ratio when blending to dilute the alcohol and allow other molecules that contributes to the flavor easier to escape the water body.

      @elixwhitetail 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@TheParallellinial So, that's a bit of a difficult question for me to answer for a few reasons. One, I've never personally had any of them in my fairly recent whisky-enjoying career, and two, I live in a province with state-controlled distribution so my accessibility to Compass Box bottles is questionable at best even if I had the cash to splash and the years of drinking behind me to do it in. However, opinions of people I trust rate Compass Box blends highly as a general standard, because it's not your nan's Johnnie Walker Red Label and neither is it priced like it. Most cheap, bad Scotch is blended Scotch, but not all blended Scotch is cheap and bad and Compass Box's higher-tier offerings are a prime example of the good stuff.
      If you like peated Scotches and Islay in particular, you probably would not do badly with a bottle of Peat Monster if you can get your hands on one. There've been special editions and older recipes but the current expression is 46%, non-chill filtered, natural colour. For something less peat-centric, the Highlands-focused Spice Tree is apparently amazing. The base is 60% Clynelish, 20% Dailuaine, and 20% Teaninich and it's aged in custom barrels with American oak staves and new French oak heads. I don't know your flavour preferences or wallet, but Compass Box has a number of expressions blended for quality instead of a quick buck. A less-upscale but decent blend of theirs is the Artists' Blend.
      In a completely different direction, Hibiki Harmony from Suntory is a very frequent example of a good whisky and a good blend from Japan. Under the new Japanese industry rules Hibiki *IS* real Japanese whisky, so you won't be paying a big premium for shabby Scotch imports if you buy a bottle, it's genuinely made in Japan according to Beam-Suntory.
