Smoking my pipe and drinking a gorgeous single malt, pondering about life..

Lindy Booth, saw her in Odyssey 5, thought she was cute as hell.

Lily Cole, a bit too much of a baby face for me, but she was bloody brilliant in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (Great movie, last movie Heath Ledger was in)

Galadriel Stineman, was in Junkyard Dog.. a rather shitty movie actually.

Emily Browning, she was AWESOME in Sucker Punch, so let's say she's got red hair in that picture.

Well, truth be told, it's quarter past 8 in the morning here. But you could say it's late, since I haven't slept yet.

And I must say, Holger Danske (Danish) Black & Bourbon tobacco goes rather well with a smooth yet spicy single malt. Do you have a favourite tobacco?

Well, Its 2:30 here so cheers. I like anything Mclelland, but Frog Morton Across the pond is my favorite, combined with either a strong stout or a Macallan Scotch makes for a fine evening

Cheers mate. I just ordered McClelland Personal Reserve Bombay Court, I've never tried anything from McClelland before, so I'm quite excited. I usually smoke Dunhill Early Morning Pipe or Dunhill Nightcap.

I have had a bunch from McClelland and they have never let me down, The only tobacco brand I have consistently disliked was Peterson, all the tobacco I have tried from them was awful. I haven't tried any dunhill yet, But its top of my list.

Dunhill is something you hate, say meh about or love. I like EMP and Nightcap because they do what the name implies :)

What single malt you sippin there sir?

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > joemcm

The Glenrothes Select Reserve.

It's a rather smashing thing I'll have you know. Ripe fruit, vanilla, citrus and a hint of spice, quite smooth, only 43% ABV

Hmm, I'll look out for it. I'm a college student in Kentucky and tried out some scotches recently and must say it's much better than bourbon, and I like bourbon. I've only had (in order of preference):
Glenlivit Nádurra 16
Johnnie Walker Green Label
Glen Moray 12
Macallan 10
Johnnie Walker Black Label
Johnnie Walker Red Label

I'm a colossal noob, but I know what I like, I just can't articulate it and describe the flavors like you did. Sadly, scotch is a rare but for me considering its price tag. Sometimes, in college, you just need to get the job done. Enter Kentucky Gentleman.

Ahh... College student... I don't think The Glenrothes anything would be in your price range then, let alone the special reserve. But it is a Speyside, much like the Glenlivet you've tried, but the Glenlivet have more sweetness to it. I'd say the Glenlivet is like a donut with honey and apple in it, with some vanilla, but not much citrus or spice. But if you like Glenlivet, you'll like Glenrothes.

Glen moray is speyside as well, and will have some of the same notes, but perhaps a tiny bit more peat on the nose.

The Macallan is another Speyside (boy you like speyside don't you?), smooth, vanilla icecream, caramell with a hint of citrus or grapes.

As for Johnnie Walker... Only one I've ever tried is the Black Label, and it's a very good blended Whisky. If you can't afford a Single Malt Speyside, the Black Label is almost as good.

As for bourbons, I'm sure there are plenty of them that are awesome, but the only one I've found so far, is the Jack Daniels Tennesse Honey. Mix that thing into a Whisky sour... oh my..

Well thanks for the crash-course on scotches I've had! I'll be sure to try something that isn't Speyside next time. I'll tell you what though, that Walker Green is good and likely pretty cheap for you. The Glenlivet was the only thing I've had that really out did it in every way. The other single malts weren't as noticeably better to my untrained palate. As far as bourbons go, Jack's not bourbon. That's Tennessee horse piss. I've never had a sip of Jack, and don't plan to. As a Kentuckian, I see it as an obscenity. Bourbon is a field I'm more well-versed in. However, after my adventures into scotch, I pretty much need a cigar to enjoy bourbon, which is unfortunate considering my asthma. Anyways, if you want a solid bourbon, try Woodford Reserve, just on ice, no cocktail shenanigans. I find bourbon's sweet taste somewhat objectionable in mass quantities, making bourbons like Knob Creek an enemy of mine. Woodford on the other hand is balanced and is still one of my favorite whiskeys, even after dipping my toes in the wonderful pool of scotch.

I know jack ain't a bourbon, it was just something I threw out there to get a proper response ;)

As for ice, I NEVER use ice, but a drop or two of water can be a good thing, it can actually do wonders, opens up the flavours.

If you want to try something not spey, I'd suggest something like Talisker, Lagavulin or Caol Ila.. That stuff will put hair on your chest. Talisker is an Isle of Sky Whisky, the two others are Islay ones.

Edit: Woodford Reserve now on shopping list, same goes for Green label (read about it now, seems like something I'd like)

Well I hope you found my response proper and thanks for the suggestions, I'll be sure to look for those.
