Mead's a really nice drink, but a bit too sweet for me in quantity. Monastries here make mead and I get it every now and again when I'm up in the North East.

Is Maker's Mark considered to be the best Bourbon that's widely available?  It's really good stuff, but I can't help feeling that there is better out there.

you are a man of class and a fine american.  If I ever make it to a con I will buy the first round.  Doubles - they last a little longer.

I'm a huge fan of budget wiskey. I've been into Elijah Craig for the last year or so. It's my favorite bourbon and I can usually get it for 35 bucks a bottle at the local Communist Liquer stores.

Actually, I prefere Bushmills Black Bush to Jameson's.  Or Bushmills 16yr if  I can get it.

Cube or two of ice?

Mention that to a Scot and he'd have your guts for haggis! :)  Neat, straight, no ice! :)

Notice different spelling - American Whiskey and Scottish Whisky.

Prefer Scottish single malts myself, Glen Grant, and yeah, Ravs, that Oban was very very sweet! :)

If you want a great Irish whiskey try Knappogue Castle. GREAT STUFF!

Oban...been brought up more than once. Gotta have a look. Never heard of it, so it might be hard to find over here in the land of Kentucky Bourbon.

Replicant, I take it ice = diluting your drink and therefore a cardinal sin in Scotland? The Scots will have to excuse me. I'm something of a sissy. :D Out of curiosity, what is the preferred way to serve it over there? Temperature, serving size?

Ok, found some Oban online: http://store.yahoo.com/wineglobe-store/12128.html

$59 seems to be a bargain price compared to other places that carry it. Still, it's usually more than I spend on a bottle, so let me ask you this: is it worth it?

Whisky is normally served at room temperature.

Have a look at http://www.scotchwhisky.net/distilleries/  

This is a list of all the Scottish Whiskys.  Although it says 'Highland' and 'Lowland' this is purely in general terms and not the actual 'county'.  The Speyside Whisky trail has loads and loads of distilleries and is actually in 'Grampian'.  A guy I know from work lived near there and he'd been to them all and tried all of them! :)

Whisky single malts are stocked in most decent pubs, mostly Glenfiddich, Glenmorangie, Oban, Cragganmore, Glenlivet and perhaps Dalwhinnie.
