At least he's still the greatest video game running back of all time.

I don't know...I think Christian Okoye was just as bad ass when he was in excellent condition.

Edit: Nevermind I found a video where Okoye just knocked everyone over a million times.

Could Okoye do this?

Anyway, no scotch talk for a while, so...

Bought some Macallan single malt a few weeks ago and I do not rate it one bit.

Had some Glenfiddich at a restaurant the other day and it was awesome. Still love Dalwhinnie, though Glenfiddich would probably be my second favourite atm.

I Believe all Macallan is single malt. Which did you buy and what does 'I do not rate it one bit' mean? (sorry - don't quite get the terminology). You didn't like it? I'm actually quite a big fan - working on my second bottle of cask strength still. Spicy at first, but very nice once you get used to how spicy / robust it is.

GlenF special reserve is good for a cheap, daily drinker. No complaints there.

Yeah Macallan are all single malt afaik. I bought the 12yr old fine oak. Yeah I didn't like it, like you said it's very spicy/robust...doesn't go down smooth enough for my tastes.

I've never drunk really really expensive scotch, I only spend up to $100 a bottle.

Thoughts on Dalwhinnie?

I love Dalwhinnie, although my mate says it's for women and vicars.

The doublewood version is really good.

I think I've got a bad case of seasonal affective disorder. Winter is so depressing.

Talking about emo and whiskey, my ex brought me some of the bottles I left behind in our old apartment. I've got a Macallan 12y, Oban double barrel and a Glenfiddich special reserve waiting for me to drown my sorrows. What's your play - switch them around from time to time or keeping to one bottle until it's finished?

Never tried Dalwhinnie but I do like the Balvenie Double wood. Very smooth / mellow. Perhaps because it does't fully take up the flavor of either wood???

Actually though, thanks to this thread (and perhaps you Cue), I tried Laphroaig <sp>. Very nice for the price. Until I'd tried it, I didn't care for smokey / petey flavored scotch, however it's helped me change my tune.

As far as the Mac Fine Oak series - they used to be some of my favorites. Very light / smooth / easy to drink. However, recently I've really been into heavier offerings (like the Mac Cask Str). Maybe it's a seasonal thing like Keysers depression.

How's the Oban? Keep meaning to try the Japanese whiskys but never get around to it (made by Suntori if IIRC???).

On the mixing it up front - I'm all for switching between during drinking sessions. It really helps me to compare and contrast as long as I drink a little water to clense the palete between drinks.

BTW - If anyone here is in the Bay Area (SF particularly) and likes whiskey, Nihon Whiskey Lounge on 14th and Folsom is supposed to be a sweet little spot. Keep meaning to try it but never quite get around to it.
