Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: single malt and fly fishing

I try to keep a Scotch on hand from each region, but my favorites are Glenrothes Select Reserve and Balvenie Doublewood. I used to stick to the peaty Islays - particularly Lagavulin - but I've started to go for smoother Highland malts.

For entry level Scotches, I always recommend The Famous Grouse.  It's the best flavor for the price.

Thanks Aaron.  Stouts are my go-to.  Just figured since people were talking about manly drinks.  Id get a opinion.  I hate buyin a beer thats foreign to me and its bad.  Atleast if some people have said its good I feel safer with my choice.

Aaron,

I, too, have been training to drink whiskey straight since taking a serious hazing this Summer. From the few scotches I've had, I would say that your budgeted money is better spent on bourbon. I would second Scott's recommendation of Bulleit, which is quite a bit better than you would expect for the price; if you want to drop a little more, check out Woodford Reserve.

Danny,

Guiness is probably my go-to beer, I haven't found anything that is really that similar (smooth, creamy and light) but if you want to try some dark beer, pick up some stout. Most anything with Coffee, Mocha, or Chocolate in the name should be tasty.

Hey All,

 

 

      Since we are on this topic,  I've been interested in learning to enjoy whiskeys (more specifically Scotches or Bourbons) as they are ment to be enjoyed (neat or on the rocks) and not mixed with other items (coke, etc...)  Any one have any suggestions on an entry level scotch thats smoother but not so complicated that it would be wasted on a novice.

 

      Second question, Anyone ever try the Hudson baby bourbon whiskeys.  I had it once last year and really enjoyed it but I wanted to see what everyone else thought.

 

Let me know,

 

Aaron
