Perfect time for a quote from a great movie:
"I'll have a scotch on the rocks, please. Any scotch will do, as long as it's not a blend, of course. Single malt, Glen Livet, Glen Galley, perhaps, any Glen."
In addition to all the "Glens" I'd recommend Oban 14. It's one of my favorites. There's a story behind this scotch which might be why it's my favorite....
I walk into a bar...duh-dump, ching. Really, it was a ratty pool hall. Every one with me was drinking pitchers of beer, but I was thinking scotch. I walk up to the bar and the bartender says, "what'll ya have?". After surveying the counter trying to see if they even have scotch, I see this dusty rack with even dustier bottles of scotch. They look like they've been there for years untouched...probably for looks more than anything else.
So I tell her, "I'll try the Oban 14, neat." She say's, "So, you want a
shot of scotch?" Thinking she's going to put it in a shot glass I say, "No, I'd like it in a rocks glass please." "You want it
on the rocks?". "No, I want it neat,...
in a rocks glass."
At this point I've confused her and she grabs a rocks glass and starts pouring the house scotch...having forgotten I asked for the Oban. I inform her I'd rather try the Oban. So she finally grabs the right Scotch and the right glass (without ice) and fills it up almost to the TOP!....and says, "That'll be $7."
The guy sitting next me leans over and say's..."I'll have what he's having..."
