  • 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 the next few weekends 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.

Favorite Scotch?

I can't get past Oban... I just keeping going back to it. I also really like the Maclallan 25 yr. However, I can't afford the 25yr... it's like $300 a bottle.

Oban is very good. Don't mind the Mac 12. Really like the Auchentoshen 12 for the price.

I've been meaning to try Highland Park since I live in a town with the same name.

I like Glenlivet 18 plenty. Balvenie Doublewood I picked up once without knowing anything about it and liked that quite a bit.
You live in a town called 15? That's really odd...

Tough to call one as a fav, but the top 2 is the Mac cask strength and Aberlour A'bunadh.

If you really want a Mac 21 without paying the Mac 21 price you can always look at the independent offerings.

If you like the Oban then you should reach for a Talisker 10yo maybe the best 10yo out there imho. Also the Auchentoshan Abundah is very good that actually needs a little water imo and I find it more like a bourbon maybe. Now also if you're an Oban fan and some nice bang for the buck the Japanese stuff Suntory Yamakazi 12yo is very nice stuff for sure. It's a Japanese single malt and you can totally p/u on the saltiness from the air and some nice barrel nuances.
