How to drink Scotch

[AustinSN]

Can anyone tell me what kind of glass this is called. It has 4 slots in the bottom where you could rest your pinky. I had one identical to this, but dropped it. I bought mine at a comsignment/antique store for $1. It was my favorite, and I'd like to replace it.

I can't find one like that anywhere.

I'll keep an eye out as I'm in the market for new glasses anyway.

Looks like a variation of the traditional Old Fashioned Glass....that's probably going to be a tough one to find, since it was an antique...

Thanks guys, I'll keep looking.

Glenlivet 12

100000% this. Secret is that they use wine casks to age their whiskey. My God, it's among the finest single malt available.

It's all preference of course, but the Glenlivet consistantly delivers the same experience across multiple bottles across multiple years. The longer aged bottles really are worth the premium from them.

Thanks for suggesting this. I actually came across it at Costco the other day for $27 so I put it in the cart. Very smooth, definitely picking up another bottle.

I have a nice bottle of Glenlivet 18. $$$, but it's sipped neat (no way am I polluting 18 years of perfection). I also keep a 12 year around, at all times. Same policy as the 18, neat and sipped. The way it evaporates off your tongue is just amazing! A pleasure of life, for sure!

You guys know that almost all spirits get water added to them for final proof prior to bottling, right?

Of course they "proof it down", but the distillers use THEIR water sources. Water is the biggest ingredient, 60% by volume give or take.

My brother got a $200 bottle of Scotch, as a tip for computer work. He doesn't drink Scotch, and told me they killed the bottle at a party, MIXING IT WITH COKE !

Look in glassware.

I had some Mikasa high ball glass wear in need of a few to complete a set. They had it.

About 10 years ago I was given a bottle of Glenlivet for doing some computer work. Single malt Scotch has been my go to ever since.

I try to stay around $50 when restocking, with some flexibility. I prefer it from the Islay region and it's never better than when paired with a stogie. I use one rock. I like how the flavor changes as it melts.

Here are my favorites:
Lagavulin 8
Foggie Moss Aultmore 12
Glenfarclas 12
Laphroaig 10
Bruichladdich the Classic Laddie

I have a bottle of Glenfarclas 40 for special occasions. That's some damn good stuff.
