Currently my favorite scotch for ~$50 a bottle.



Aged in Oak and then Sherry casks, and you notice it. Smooth and sweet with distinct vanilla and fruit flavors. Short, clean finish. Not very smokey at all, which is perfect for the summer months. Highly recommended if you have the cash.

Not recommended for pairing with a cigar due to it's relatively delicate flavors and lack of a strong finish.

Also mixing in:


Got this $30 single malt on sale for $20, and I wish I had bought more at that price. Very smokey up front but quickly gives way to a very sweet fruit flavor (cherry and sugared peaches) with some vanilla. Aged in bourbon, oak, and then sherry casks. Good with a nice cigar. Not sure if I would buy it again at full price. If I want a smokey scotch I can get Laphraoig for about the same price and fill my smoke tank to 11, and NOTHING I've had is better with a cigar than Laphraoig.
