So What Are We Drinking Tonight?

Just cooked a dinner for 20 of the highest ranking officials for a national liquor distributor that is worth 1.5 billion dollars. My payment was to choose any spirit at the bar to take home free of charge.

that much choice and you go with this? I like this scotch personally, but given a choice I would probably go with something with a higher price tag, and no less than 18 years.

Thats a 90 dollar bottle right there, i'm sure he wasn't trying to gouge the guy for an 18 year bottle. Either way the 12 is just fine for me, albeit the taste isnt as refined as your suggestion.

The bar didn't have the 200+ scotch's they carry, this was the best selection available. Trust me I had my eyes on the Laphroaig 30 yr but I wasn't about to ask for the keys to the warehouse.

oh yeah, I am a scotch drinker. I know the price tag. I was just thinking when dealing with a company worth over a billion dollars, no need to feel cheap. Especially since you cooked for them.

Was in the catering business for a while, know about the high ranking people you can cook for.

also, I do not know. That one was good, but didn't wow me like others. It was good and palatable, but didn't leave me wanting to get it again. But still a good single malt. But I would probably go with a Dalwhinnie, Cragganmore, Oban or Legavulin over it. But that is just me.

It certainly doesn't hold up to Legavulin or Oban, but its a nice blend. I'd throw Glenrothes and Auchentoshan into the mix with those two. The best of the twelve years is Old Pulteney for me.

only one of the classic malts I have yet to try, as i can not find it anywhere here:
Glenkinchie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

need to get that one to finish of the classic malts.

I have been searching for people out this way also that distribute the more obscure stuff.
