What is your favorite Single Malt Scotch?!
What is your favorite Single Malt Scotch?
What's the best label for beginners? Which are the most pungent and flavorful? Highland or Seaside?
Answers:
Cardhu - hardly see it in the US anymore. Heard it was very popular in Spain and they take most of it.
Islay or seaside are definitely the strongest , most pungent and flavorful. They pick up that salty iodine taste from the sea. They can be almost medicinal sometimes.
And for those saying Dewar's and Johhnie Walker - do you even know what a SINGLE MALT Scotch is?

I go with Johnnie Walker
I suggest Glenlivet 12 year old for beginners. It is relatively inexpensive and excellent. I love Highland Park for regular drinking. I also love The Macallan and Glenmorangie. My friend loves The Dalmore, but I find it a bit harsh.
My favorite is Laphroaig. As everyone's perception of taste is different, I suggest you try a few to find what you like.

In general, I like Glenfiddich, but depending on the mood I'm in, I'll have a wee dram of Laphroaig.
I have yet to find a single malt I really don't like.
For beginners the Glen Family is a good place to start. Single malts typically have good depth of flavor, it really depends on he charcteristic ou seek. Personally in terms of premium singles i like the macallan series, I dont particually like it too smokey.
Johnny Walker green label.
