There's a mind-boggling variety of Scotch, these are just a few that I drink not quite regularly, but definitely more than once a year.

Have tried many samples-glasses of Scotch and can honestly say there is no good scotch<just my opinion thogh, hehe
All of it taste like water that has had rusty nails soaking in it for a long time and then someone added a bit of alcohol for good measure. I don't knock anyone that has developed a taste for it I just find it repulsive to the taste buds,

Malts: Speyside 12 yr old, Glenfiddich.

Blended: J & B

Drambuie is worth a look if you like sweet licqueurs, mix it with scotch and you get a "Rusty Nail".

Cutty Sark used to work for me as a regular, but I was known to pick up the better stuff on occasion. Now it is a rare occasion when I drink.

Thanks for all the great suggestions...I ended up going to the bar ,they had Dewars and Glenlivet....I had a Glenlivet and Ambrosia...called a Godfather.....It was a great drink ,,,after that i tried a Glenlivet and sweet vermouth..called a Rob Roy...It was ok,funny taste ,,,but the Godfather was great drink...just those 2 and i was feeling a bit swerved......

Im gonna try to go to some nicer bars ,to see if i can seek out some of the top shelf stuff ,You guys listed ...thanks for all the suggestions, from all u knowlegable folks!!!!
