Un whisky, un Rye, un Scotch et un Bourbon...
Le connaisseur va faire la différence... Peut-être pas au goût, à tous les coups (tsé, après trois verres, tous les alcools se ressemblent :tape
. Mais en lisant l'éthique c'est certain...
Donc, si tu veux offrir un Scotch à ton ami, à ta place, je ne lui donnerais pas un Rye....
Un Glenlivet Archive ou un Johnnie Walker Black Label, vieillis de 10 ans ou plus, tu ne pourrais pas te tromper de beaucoup... Assures-toi qu'ils ont été produits en Écosse... Tsé, Scotch...
En passant... Un ami irlandais se plait à raconter qu'un Scotch est un Whisky raté... Le Whisky a été distillé une fois et le Scotch a été distillé trois fois. Donc, en Irlande, on réussit à faire quelque chose du premier coup alors qu'en Écosse ça prend trois essais pour arriver à un produit équivalent.

your friend must not have been a true irishman
from my knowledge, and the internet seems to confirm it, scotch is distilled twice, more often then not over smoked peat. whereas irish whisky is distilled 3 times, rarely over smoked peat, leaving it a more neutral and smooth product.
both have their fans.
personnally i enjoy té bheag, a blended scotish Gaelic whiskey. it's reasonably priced, had a good overall finish. and is pronounced tea bag, which amuses me enormously.

Merci, oui il connaît !
Moi pas du tout, je desteste le fort.
Je vais continuer de vous lire.
Un grand merci à tous xx
Il est question de scotch... Si c'est japonais, ça ne peut pas venir d'Écosse. Donc, ce n'est pas un scotch.
C'est comme les cognac... Tous les cognac sont des brandy. Mais tous les brandy ne sont pas des cognac...
Allo ma chère Melyssa,
Je ne suis pas un amateur de fort, je suis allé chez mon gendre l'autre jour pour souper et dans la soirée, il a sorti une bouteille de Scotch qu'il avait eu en cadeau et quand j'ai su le prix de la bouteille, j'en aie pris juste une larme, étant pas un connaisseur de scotch, je n'aurais pas vu la différence. Il me semble que c'était ''Glenfarclas 21 ans Highlands Scotch Single Malt''.
Au plaisir !!!

Scotch is such a matter of personal taste that it is hard to know what to recommend... also hard without knowing what you want to spend...
Smoky: Highland Park 18 years (the rest of the Highland Parks are over-rated IMO but this one is a jewel.)
Peaty: Caol-Ila Distillers Edition. A Kichoman Machir Bay is also really nice.
Peaty and Salty: Ardbeg Uigeadail... will cure you of all your ills.
Smooth and Silky: Balvenie Double Wood... this one defines bang for the buck. Some of the Oban's are very nice as well. Glenfarclas 21 is awesome but hard to find.
Hair on your chest: Laphroig 10 years... this one is in the peaty family and somewhat less refined than some others but it has a ton of character. I always think of The Pogues while drinking this one... lol...
lots of people like Bowmore's, Glenlivet's and Macallan's but I am not too familiar with these... I tend to favour peaty and smokey (Islay being my favourite region), but tastes do vary wildly...

yeah... Caol Ila and Ardbeg are my 2 favourites. If you haven't tried the Kilchoman Machir Bay yet, its worth a try. I was very pleasantly surprised. A really nice single malt...
Hmmm Scotch.
All scotches are whiskeys and the opposite isn't true.
Over a period of 5 years, with a good friend, every two to three weeks we alternately bought a bottle.
Three areas of scotches:
1- Highland
From the highlands of scotland. Smooth and silky.
2- Midland
From the midlands of Scotland. Peaty and earthy. Got a bottle once that actually had deposits at the bottom. I was told by a SAQ employe that the barrels are dug up in earth.
3- Islay
From the islands of Scotland. Smokey BBQ. Inside of barrels are burnt. Not my favorite.
Two designations:
Single malt: From one barrel.
Blended: A mix of different Scotches from different barrels of different years.
Without a doubt after trying way too many. My favorite being smooth and silky. Macallan Single Malt Highland Scotch Whiskey 18 years and up.
Enjoy!

Un scotch absolument étonnant produit au Québec: L'Essence du single malt
je l'ai comparé avec le Talisker 10 ans... le produit québecois passe le test haut la main.
Et Maria a raison le Dalwhinnie est absolument divin.

Tell me if I'm wrong but there is a tiny difference between a Whisky and a Whiskey... In Ireland, they used to add the letter "e" to make sure everyone knew that they were drinking Irish Whisky...
So, if it's true... I'd say "All scotches are whiskys and the opposite isn't true".
Ay Captain! Thanks for the link...
For what I understand, after a little searching on the matter, there seems to be some kind of appropriation by the Americans (who else does that?).
The things I've found:
- The first whiksy comes from Ireland (during the 1600's)
- The Scots "imported" the recipe during the 1700's and the name Scotch took place (Scots Whisky... but after three glasses of that holy drink, your ears would only catch the word "scotch").
- Irish migrants to North Americas took the recipe with them... But in order to avoid a war of words and/or a sacrilege to their Motherland, they choose the name Rye for products distilled in Canada...
- The similar thing took place in the USA... But they choose the name Bourbon in regards of the location where they build the first distillery in the USA.
What about the letter "e"? Some Eire folks wanted to protect their heritage without using a trademark and began to add the "e" in whisky. But the "melting potters" Americans began to do the same thing... And that's where we are today where we have now "Irish Whisk(e)y"... That's like saying "pont bridge" or "Chai Tea"...

In my humble opinion a more succinct way of putting it would be to say that Irish whiskey is perfectly fine for a mixed cocktail or to fill your toilet tank if your water gets shut off while single malt scotch is what I drink when I want to actually enjoy what I am doing.
I have always been partial the the islay malts, especially Bowmore. For a while I enjoyed Sapa and Bunnahabhain as an milder flavored alternative. Of course, the smoothest single malt I have ever had was a bottle of 30 year old macallan. At the time, it was an $800 bottle, but now it is impossible to find outside a bar for less than $3000. Like liquid velvet.

That lis is only one mans' opinion and is full of Bull Shit. #50: Glenrothes Select Reserve is rated as 50 points : F. Clean the sink drain with it.
At that price point it is a fine Scotch for people that want a mild smooth scotch. I also do not see any fine scotches on that list that are highly rated by other experts.
