Try Glenfiddich 15yo or 18yo. The new Balvenie 17yo Rum Cask is also out if you liked and tried the 17yo Sherry Oak.
Glenfiddich, Glenmorangie, Glenlivet If you want something with a more distinctive peatier taste, try something from Islay such as Lagavulin or Laphroig; for a more medicinal seaweedy taste try Talisker or Highland Park.
Really, it could be called both. Both are correct.
They're different styles of whisk(e)y. Bourbon is made primarily in the US while scotch can only be made in Scotland. Scotches have different flavor profiles depending on which part of Scotland the whisky is distilled, but should still have a smoky flavor. Bourbon usually tastes sweeter in constrast.
Manhattan Sorry, wrong... A Manhattan is whiskey, vermouth, and bitters. Scotch whiskey and 7-Up, which aren't typically mixed, is called a "Scotch & 7" to differentiate from the standard "7 and 7", which is Seagrams Seven Crown whiskey (or any whiskey) and 7-Up. Most Scotches are typically too "full bodied" to mix well with citrus drinks, but some people will even mix scotch and grape soda.
no it's really cool i did it at school and it really works!
It will probably remain unchanged. Scotches and blended whiskeys only age in barrels, they quit again once they are bottled.
If you're having trouble finding a good store in Florida perhaps you should look online. http://www.thewhiskeyplace.com has a great selection of single malt scotch brands as well as blended whiskeys. If you love Balvenie, Glenrothes, Talisker and more I'd suggest checking it out.
The big difference is blended vs. single malt.Blended - This term means that the scotch is a blend from many distilleries in Scotland. The big brands are: Johnny Walker, Chivas Regal, J&B and Cutty Sark.Single Malt - This term means that the scotch was distilled at only one distillery in Scotland. The big brands are: Macallen, Laphroaig, Glenfiddich and Glenlivet.
Scotch whiskey is made from water and barley. A little yeast may be added to get the fermentation process going. The barley mash is dried in a kiln with a porous floor, under which burns a fire made of peat, which is what gives Scotch it's distinctive smoky and slightly oily flavor. After the whiskey is distilled out, it is aged in barrels for at least 3 years. Most Scotches are blended, but they are blended from nothing but various Scotch whiskys - grain neutral spirits are never mixed in, like they are with many cheaper American whiskeys. Scotch is the only spirit where the name is properly spelled "whisky". In all other forms (rye, bourbon, etc), it is "whiskey".
Scotch neat is a scotch with no ice.
The answer should be yes as Scotch is short for Scotch Whisky and must be distilled at a Scottish distillery. All whiskey is not of course Scotch Whisky (Whiskey in Ireland and the US) and Scotch is sometimes used in other parts of the world as a generic name for whiskey confusing the issue. The fact is, however that it is impossible for all whiskey that is a 'product of Scotland' to really be Scottish if you look at the amount of this whiskey that is distributed across the world. Therefore, it is clear that much whiskey is made in foreign, often Less economically developed countries and sold under the name Scotch Whisky even though it is not really made in Scotland.
