This is what I'm currently working on http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q730/kykillluc/stuff/3A593756-ACB1-4C24-9FF8-CD6383342A2A-491-000000338D7561E5_zps05e68d4a.jpg You can't go wrong with either of them. I need to start buying for my next batch though. Excellent choices! The MACALLAN is my favorite, especially the 12. |

12 is good. 18 is very good. <--I would say this is in the realm of Lagavulin 16 25 is Epic. 30 is un-fucking-believable. It should be noted that price increases with taste when it comes to Scotch. 
ETA: Look, after the first or second... you can drink f'ing Johnny Walker or Famous Grouse. Start good, then ease down. It'll save the pocketbook. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Mac 25 Sherry is ~$1200 Mac 30 Sherry is ~$2000 I didn't say it was cheap. But I can get better prices than that (25 is ~$700, local). I've only had the 30 at a work outing, on a customers tab. His Idea; they had it, but wasn't going to drink it alone. He owned the company, so if that's how he wanted to spend the corporate dollar, who was I to complain? (But yeah, we were paying ~$100/oz for the stuff)
My go-to's in good Scotches are the Mac 18 and the Lagav 16. And then on to Johnny Red. ETA: Forgot about the Glenlivet 18. Good stuff. |

Straight, first drink... Yeah. Though my Dad, with the burned-out-taste-buds, would disagree. But I'm only talking about the 3rd or 4th. When you're home, watching the game, or a movie, etc. I don't really drink when I'm 'out', and when I do, it's not good stuff - it's usually low-test beer. |

Just tried that Lagavulin Distiller's Edition...
Oh my. 
It's a little fruity but not sweet. Maybe a hint of raisins or something, dark and pleasant. Highly recommended for Islay fans. |
