What is the Scotch equivelant?

Jameson is a blended whiskey and doesn't have a smokey or peaty taste. Until recently, Jameson was the only whiskey I liked. Never cared for burbon. I recently started tasting single malts and found Dalwhinnie 15 to be approachable for a start. I've found that I like a tiny bit of smokey flavor, such as Talisker 10.

The 15-year Dalwhinnie is my favourite Highland single-malt and definitely a good one to begin with due to its specifications you will find below. Just a wee bit of water to open it up and you're golden (no pun intended).


Nose: A big, crisp, dry and very aromatic nose with hints of heather and peat.

Body: Light to medium.

Palate: Smooth, soft and lasting flavours of heather, honey sweetness and vanilla followed by deeper citrus-fruit flavours and hints of malted bread.

Finish: Long, lingering, surprisingly intense finish that starts sweetly, then gives way to smoke, peat and malt.


Me and some of my Macpherson cousins at the Dalwhinnie Distillery in Inverness-shire...we thoroughly enjoyed the free drams at the conclusion of the tour.
