What's the whiskey equivalent of a bota box shiraz? I'm in the market.

Four Roses is a nice choice. I'm also a fan of Buffalo Trace.

Don't put ice in your single malt, rubes

I'll generally allow a single ice cube to accompany 2 fingers of uisce.  A little bit of water helps bring out the flavor.

And the correct answer everyone, is Basil Hayden

Ice is acceptable if enjoying outdoors on a warm night.

I like to have a glass of water on the side, I just can't bring myself to add water to a single malt.

You realize that single malt scotch is barreled at a higher strength than what comes in the bottle, and they pour water into the mixture before bottling and capping and selling to you for big $$$ so you can talk about how much better it is "straight" than with any additional water.

But to each his own, as long as you're drinking whiskey, you're doing it right.

Cask Strength scotch is fun.  Glenmorange has one (astar?) that's delicious and 123 proof to boot.

I also enjoy BH, but when I found out it was made by Jim Beam it kind of spoiled it for me.

Macallan has a decent cask strength bottle. 

they stopped making it

Makes sense.  They're getting ready to stop making their standard 10, 12 and 15 year old offerings as well.  They're going to be replaced with their new 1824 collection, or colour based whiskys reflecting the whisky's color instead of age.    Gold, Amber, Sienna and Ruby are the four bottlings.  I haven't seen them out anywhere yet though.

Maybe it's already been covered, but I need secret insidery info on how to make a really great bourbon old fashioned.

Get and orange slice, sugar cube, and dash of bitters. Muddle it all together, making sure not to muddle the rind of the orange. After that, put a shot of ri in, and gradually stir in ice. This will take a couple of minutes for the ice to melt a sufficient amount, but keep adding it as you can. After you think it's done, strain it into a different glass. I like to serve them neat but others (wimps) like them on the rocks.

What did you drink after Friday?

This is fantastic, it's what I bought the day I turned 21.  They didn't card me and it pissed me off so much I about didn't buy it at all.

Has this been discussed, or does it belong in the hipster thread?

Macallan has a decent cask strength bottle.  Never had the Glenmorangie one.  I do have a bottle of Glenmorangie 18 year that I'm pretty disappointed in.

I'll have to keep an eye out for the Macallan cask strength didn't know they had one.

Glenlivet has an affordable one that good and Glenfiddich has one that's actually really good.

[lopakman]

If you like the Glen's cask strenth, you'll really like the Macallan.
