Whiskey/Scotch experts, I need advice!

Scotch is my drink of choice. I have never had Macallan though, so I will have to check that out. I typically have a glass of Chivas Regal.

i dont know much about scotch other than Macallen and Glenfiddich are decent options...i know there's all kinds of other fancy ones as well

as far as whiskey i like Makers...Woodford Reserve is also really, really good. you can also give Gentelman Jack or Jack Daniels Single Barrel a try. i've never really gotten into the Walkers, but i say you spring for a bottle of Blue

Gentleman's Jack and Jack Daniels Single Barrel, FTW!!!

if you enjoy scotch whiskey, you owe yourself to try single malt scotch whiskey.
the macallan single malts are generally considered one of the best, so yea give it a try. at costcos around here, they also have the glenlivet 12yr for $21 which is a very affordable quality single malt. i'd take these over blended stuff like johnny walker, although the green and gold are the vatted malts (blend of single malts). one blend i really enjoy though is jameson, a irish whiskey.

if you want to know more about what i think, check out my post in the liquor thread here: viewtopic.php?t=397751&start=10#p3159419

oh and please don't be like somebody here and mix the stuff with coke.

I bought the Macallan 12 this evening and took it to a friends to enjoy a glass. It was very good and I enjoyed the combination of all of it's smokey flavors. He brought out a bottle of The Balvenie 12 that he had and I tried that as well. I liked the Macallan more, but The Balvenie was good too. The Balvenie was a lot more smooth and didn't have as much of a "burn," but the Macallan had a lot more of a flavor profile that I enjoyed.

i got me a bottle of jameson yesterday, and damn it's smooth as butter. definitely my favorite blend. it's the anti-chivas/crown.
you know i tell when alcohol is clean/pure? you don't get toxic sore leg syndrome the next day. everytime i drink american whiskey i get the toxic legs syndrome. if i drink a good single malt or nice blend like jameson, i could almost not even remember i drank the night before.
