Re: Scotch question
Walker blue label isn't worth the coin, smooth, yes, but best left to your wife, I don't feel it jumps over their simple black label enough to justify its cost, hell even at $100/bottle I wouldn't buy it again.
I just bought a bottle of Dalmore single malt and it's horse piss, wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy, fact is, even he deserves better.
Neat is my method, brandy snifter style glass, as eluded to earlier, allows the scotch to be swirled without being spilled, tighter mouth concentrates aroma, works great.
Montecristo platinum is a cigar I've really enjoyed as of late, but, I like my scotch or bourbon dark, these have bolder, stronger flavor, I echo that with a dark cigar to draw the most flavor out of each. Lighter cigars won't cut that hit you get from the strong alcohol content.
That is a big reason blue label doesn't cut it for me, feels like a woman's drink, light and fruity, fuel for a tight box.
But, I need a better scotch, still searching for great in this area, for a bourbon I actually like wild turkey rare breed, very strong, but filled with flavor, incredible with a good cigar.
I've also ran through a lot of horrible Brandi searching for something decent...
For whisky, crown royal black is enjoyable, far more than its original counterpart.
