I had a good laugh over this.. it has some merit but when you look at why the only place on the globe that can put 'single malt scotch' on the label is in an area with two of the largest swill producers on the planet.. well I'll just leave it at that.

Re: Oh Noes.. Ma scotch is gonna run out!!
OH NO! THE WORLD IS RUNNING OUT OF SCOTCH.... AND THE SKY IS FALLING ON THE ISLE OF SKYE!
So will we be the last ones on earth to have the best whisky in the world? So what if we can't call what we make Scotch, it is single malt and my single malt is some of the best I've ever tasted...and I've tasted a shi# load of single malts! The question here is, is are these wonderful old whiskys being sipped of GULPED?

Re: Oh Noes.. Ma scotch is gonna run out!!
I've bought and drank many 21 year old bottles of Scotch and one over 40 years old.
I like mine better!

Re: Oh Noes.. Ma scotch is gonna run out!!
I've got a local cigar bar that specializes in singles.. very nice collection. I'd drop $25-60 for a double with an ice ball while I enjoy my cohiba. Was never able to settle on one that I really liked. I've had some good ones, but something just never jumped out at me.
Then I found this place and made my first batch of single from peated barley. aged it for 8ish months with a charred oak spiral and took 2 quarts to the Reno air races with my brother and step dad and drank it all the first night! I've never had anything as good as that since. Every time we talk, he asks when were going back to the races.

Re: Oh Noes.. Ma scotch is gonna run out!!
Started off on the malt trail, years ago and tastes change. Went through Cardhu for a couple of years, named a collie after that whisky. Last malt I purchased was Balvenie double wood. However, since I've started in the hobby my singles have been getting better and better. Last summer I went to a family get together with my rapid aged single to compare with my oldest sons aged single. Mine is a close equivalent to twenty years and an amazing single. Both were very good, his has more peat than mine and still tastes like a good 12 year old Highland. We sipped and compared for about a half an hour, when one of my brothers-in law came over asked for a shot and downed it in a swallow, my son jumped up grabbed both bottles made a quick getaway and returned a minute later will a so-so sour mash bourbon of his. The rest of the family enjoyed that, we sat back and sipped out of our snifters the two single malts. Our whiskeys are defiantly better than anything you can buy. My next effort is to make an Islay style Single malt like a Lagavulin. I haven't tried to make one of these yet. Kiwi

Hmm, Chinese are allowed to drink Scotch are they not?rad14701 wrote:The Chinese are drinking up all of our Scotch...!!!
That statement seemed akin to saying "The Chinese are breathing all of our air."
Rule 7 I believe, if this was going to go any further would be in direct contradiction?

No. No it's not.
Wow. Don't leave the house. Seriously. You seem like you could be offended by a rock in your way.
