Sorry to bump the thread
I have a bottle of McCallan and Talisker now at home
McCallan - my "smooth" scotch. Great beginner scotch in my opinion
Talisker - "Fire Water" It's the smokey flavour that I love about scotch, and Talisker really hits the spot. It sort of reminds me of bacon when I drink it
Caol Ila comes close too in terms of that smoke flavour
Sadly, I wasn't a fan of Oban. I though I would like it, but something about the initial taste that puts me off
Looking forward to trying a few other peaty ones
- Ardbeg
- Aberlour
- Lagavulin
Highland park is another milder one I want to try
My collection is starting to grow, but it's an expensive hobby
