[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 248717"] I look at fancy-shmancy scotch the same as I do golf. I'm sure it's great fun but that's one more expense I don't need. If you do venture into a $100 bottle, maybe try to find someplace with a good selection and a good bartender to try to match your tastes to a particular type. Don't be afraid to tell them you would like to try the best, not the most expensive. That's usually in their marketing framework anyway. I have a few friends that are really into scotch but when the topic comes up (bar, dinner party etc) I'm usually a too little tipsy to remember the technical specifics of their reason for purchasing a specific bottle. I love scotch but I need a buffer like equal parts water. I wouldn't want to subject a single malt to any more than a thimble. I'll stick to Johnny Walker Red and my staples Pimms, Bombay and Jamison. All are around $20-25 here. I'm not a Bourbon fan though. Too sweet... People will swear they can taste the difference between Grey Goose and Brand X. Vodka varies between drinkable and rot gut. Having a neutral flavor is the point. Stolichnaya is a fine vodka at $20/750ml. [/QUOTE]
