    Wow... I must say you showed amazing calm under pressure protecting your home (all that training pays off eh??).

    Glad your family is safe and that you have avoided getting sucked into the legal system! Enjoy a well earned drink.

    Highland Park 12 is by far the best Scotch in its price range IMHO. It's won plenty of awards in the past and won Best Island 12 and Under in this years World Whisky Awards. I'll go from one brand to another as I finish bottles of various scotch, as I like to try different ones, but there is ALWAYS a bottle of HP12 in my cabinet.

    Currently I have a couple bottles of Macallan 18, a bottle of Knappogue Castle 12 (Irish Single Malt), Yamazaki 12 (Japanese single malt), and a bottle of HP12.

    HP 12 is also a staple in my cabinet. About a year into drinking scotch I became a bit of peat monster (my favorite being Lagavulin), but I've found HP has a nice bit of the smoke and is a little more cost effective.

    What!

    I don't add water to my scotch but I do drink my scotch like it is water.

    Always have a bottle of Highland Park 12 yo. It's a perfect all rounder and one of the best whiskies out there.

    also always have a bottle of Lagavulin 16 yo. Islay's best for me, big, peaty and yet also so smooth.

    I'm into my singles too, and man, you've earned a dram of the best of them !

    IF you want something that will knock your socks off and leave you thinking...who lit that fire in my nose. Try Laphroaig, it's an acquired taste, even for scotch lovers haha

    it's one of the few that I'll put a little water into ( a few drops ) as it changes it significantly.
    Converted to straights...that didn't take long at all...

    Johnnie Walker Green...I find it much smoother than the Gold or Blue. Go figure. YMMV with scotches as well.

    FTFY. I'm not a fan of the standard Laphroaig but i looooove the cask strength. A few drops of water to open it up and man does it pack a delicious punch.

    I'm a fan of the Glenfiddich 15 yr. The 12 ain't bad either.

    The Macallan is nasty. All I taste is the sulfur candles they use on their barrels. Glenmorangie is one of my favorites. Definitely a light scotch, ala the gin stills they use. Also a big fan of Oban! :)
