cdock Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 I didn't want to hijack flyartist's thread any further but I found that scotch for any of you scotch lovers. I haven't tried it YET. http://www.thefattrout.com/onlymaltsstory.html Quote
darrinhurst Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 I don't drink Scotch, but if I found a bottle, I'd buy it just to say I have it. Quote
bloom Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 It's actually pretty good stuff. The single malt is a lowland and I'm betting Glenkinchie. A couple of us polished off a bottle after a Golden Trout hike last year...for some reason we weren't up at 5 am for the next hike. Quote
cowtownscribe Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Doesn't matter what scotch it is - if you're bud has a glass waiting for you at th end of the day Sorry for the hi-jack. I just couldn't resist. Cheers! Frank. Quote
agbff Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 I love scotch, down in my belly, scotch scotch scotch! Quote
cdock Posted June 27, 2009 Author Posted June 27, 2009 Can this be procured in Calgary? Yes. I found it at the liquor store by my place. I live in Coventry Hills. It is in the liquor store by the Blockbuster. Quote

kritofr Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 It is available at the Willow Park Liquor stores and Liquor Depot Quote
LynnF Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Here's another you fine gents might like to get your hands on. It can't be had YET in Alberta, but I've had a taste of it and it's absolutely stellar. They do gin as well. I'll put it this way though - I've never been able to drink vodka straight without the burn and choke and this stuff was like sweet water - much too good to put in a martini shaker even. Guy who sponsors my wine group is an importer and this is one that he's bringing into Alberta in the coming months. It's worth getting both the bottle and contents. If anyone is interested, I can find out which stores in particular he's shipping to. Retails for about $42 a bottle as I recall. http://www.dryflydistilling.com/about.html Quote
cdock Posted June 29, 2009 Author Posted June 29, 2009 Are you sure it's not available? I saw that near my place as well, or at least something that looked like that. I have a bad memory but I do remember something with that kind of label. Not a vodka fan but perhaps I'll give it a go from your description. Quote

LynnF Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Kensington Wine Market $53.99. Keerist that's expensive. No wonder I don't shop there. Guess he must have imported sooner than he said. It's good stuff though if you're a Vodka lover. But I wouldn't pay that. Quote
BBBrownie Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 What is everyones favorite scotches? I have two categories for scotches-fishing scotch (cheaper but good, sits nice in my vest flask) and an evening scotch(which tends to break my bank occasionally) to sip at home in front of the fireplace. Fishin scotch- McClellands Islay, Laphroaig Quater Cask Evening scotch- Lagavulin 16 year, Laphroaig 1988 old malt cask. There are many great scotches out there, what do you drink? Quote
cdock Posted June 30, 2009 Author Posted June 30, 2009 I'm with RileyS on the evening scotch but would have to add Oban and Bruichladdich. As for cheaper or fishin' scotch I like Glenlivet and Glenfiddich. Quote
bloom Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Right now...scotch for the flask, Glenmorangie...scotch for the evening, Brudladdich. Quote
dube Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 I'm a fan of the multicask finishes; Auchentoshan 3 wood is outstanding as is the 15 if you're into a more classic whiskey. I also love the Glenmorangie port finish. I would also second the Laphroaig quarter cask. There really are too many to pick from, it would be sad to be a bourbon drinker. I try to avoid buying the cheap stuff and make a point of enjoying every swill no matter if it comes from my glass or a flask. May have to have a pull right now. Quote

I love Glenmorangie...probably the best bang for the buck as quality scotch goes. I've never taken to anything BUT their original though. Heard some good things about the 3 wood, will have to try a bottle. ...and as the cheap stuff goes, I actually like Glenfiddich. The original is good, but the Solera Risierva (sp?) was great. Glenlivet isn't really worth my time though. Quote
H2O Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Yep, it's good - What are we having this year Tim? My turn. Quote
jimbow Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 for everyday scotch Abeelour - least expensive single malt in the stores i go to (less than both the glens - livet and fiddich). for good stuff - Oban, Balvenie Double Wood and Longmorn. aaahh for the good old days when Oban was $39.99 at the sunnyside liquor store less a 5% CJSW Friends Discount for a $37.99 everyday drinking scotch. Now Oban is $85 to $100. i think the question is not which scotch but where can you buy the cheapest single malts in town? i mostly go to the Midtown Coop Liquor store but it's not the cheapest - just best selection that is closest to me. any other stores out there you'd recommend (esp inner city stores)?

Has anyone on here tried Macallan 10 year single malt? It is one of the best all around scotches for my taste buds. It is mid-range at about $50-60. I found it for $45 recently. I highly recommend giving it a try. Macallan Single Malt I'm thinking of it now....... Quote
