  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Bought my First Single Malt

Welcome to the true darkside, Tom.

Next time we'll need to hit Hudson Bar & Books. A very good menu, plus they have tasting flights. Carnegie Club has a a good selection of pedestrian single malts.

Macallan was a good first choice. Glennlivet or Glennfiddich would be fine as well.

I like Lagavulin but it's not for beginners. After Macallan I would steer you towards Oban (my favorite) and then some Islays. Good variety of peatiness there.
