I'm a SM Scotch fan, and only recently started getting into bourbon. Fav bourbon right now is Eagle Rare, which is aptly named as it can be tough to find where I'm at. 10 whiskys I own and drink regularly (not bringing in the unicorn ones like Pappy) in no particular order. Highland Park Dark Origins (sadly not much left and discontinued) Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14yo Talisker 10yo Glendronach 12yo Laphroaig 10yr CS Oban Nights Watch (GOT) Eagle Rare Buffalo Trace Red Breast 12yo Kavalan Solist Port Cask |

Here is the issue with these "recommend a whiskey/vodka/rum" threads, our taste/palates are so different it’s almost useless to make a recommendation.
Example, I find Eagle Rare to be horrendous and probably won’t even use it in a cocktail. I have an almost full bottle of ER that will remain that way until someone comes over and drinks it. Others on here and elsewhere really enjoy it. My recommendation is to buy them all and try them for yourself, then you'll end up with 50-100 bottles to enjoy with friends and family.

This is most of my collection, I still have a few items in the back room and in the safe as well. Along with a few of my different Elijah Craig BP and store picks.

Central Iowa. Not many reasons to come here I realize but if you ever get lost and find yourself in the area let me know. I like just about every type (including tequila and rums also).

Like when I introduced my middle son to sushi. We usually went to the same place so he'd pick up the menu and goes "OK, I finished here last time, the next three are..."

If OP likes the Quinta Ruban, they would love this Glendronach 15/18. The 12 is a tad too sweet for me, and the 21 just doesn't have much more to add over the 18 IMO. Yes it is, and it is amazing. It has a little less peat and more fruit come through than their closer comparables like the uigeadail and the an oa. The only Ardbeg I don't really enjoy is the Corryvreckan as there is way too much going on for me, straight punch in the face.

I tried using apps to track my whiskey and cigars and it just is too much effort. I can barely remember to track beers in Untapped and that has a great interface. How do you like the Kavalan? I have had some pretty poor reviews on their offerings, which has led me away from actually buying any of it.

So would we recommend OP get in one of those whiskey clubs?
How about me?

I'm curious where the poor reviews from Kavalan come from, as I typically see them lauded as a great young distillery. I haven't had any of the lower proof offerings, but the Soloist line (which I believe is single cask) and Cask Strength offerings are amazing. I'm lucky, my wife's family is from Taiwan and I got to go to the Distillery. They came to prominence fast winning World's Best Single Malt Whisky 2015 and were only open for like 10 years. The climate in Taiwan plays a part in how the whisky ages 'faster' and thus competes with distilleries from around the world that have been doing it a lot longer. |

I like mine neat as well, but you have to put something in your Whiskey Sour! ER wouldn't make the cut for that.

I've been a big fan of Monkey Shoulder as of late, neat or mixed it's pretty tasty. I'd call it a great "intro" to Scotch blend, even though many of my more palate expanded buddies even say it's dam good for the price.
