What do I drink? Pretty much exclusively single malt scotch. I've got a penchant for heavily peated Islay malts, but I used to have a sizable collection that included bottles from a fair number of distilleries all over scotland.
Hatwick, don't sweat the cost, there was only about 1/5 of the bottle left, and it was going to oxidize before I got around to drinking it, anyway. And the price really isn't that high, at least relatively. In the wake of my divorce, while I was overseas, my wife and her friends drank a whisky collection that probably cost somewhere in the region of $5K to acquire, many bottles of which were single cask bottles bought in Scotland and totally irreplaceable. If I don't miss my guess, they probably used it as as a mixer with coke. That bottle (a 15 year old Bruichladdich, if anyone is wondering, which is a pretty lightly peated malt from the island of Islay), while moderately tasty, is readily available in plenty of local liquor stores.
Hartwick, if you really want to experience that stuff, get a brandy snifter or other bowl shaped glass. Pour in a finger or two. Now stick your nose right in the glass and get a good long whiff of the nose. Now take a small sip and let it flow across all of your tongue so that it can trigger all the different types of taste buds. Savor the experience, maybe enjoy some of the saltiness and sherry sweetness (reminiscent of cookie dough, maybe) flavours that you should be tasting. Just for curiousity's sake, add a drop or two of water into the glass and repeat the experience. It doesn't have too much effect on that whisky, since it is already watered down to 46% at the distillery, but often the addition of the tiniest amount of water will dramatically change which flavours and odors are dominant. Its pretty amazing just how many flavours there are in a good single malt, not to mention how long after your sip the flavour continues to evolve on your tongue and in your nose. It is definitely a sipping whisky, which really ought to be enjoyed from a glass. And keep ice FAR away from it.
If you like that stuff, I can blow your mind with some of the scotches I used to own. Maybe I'll go shopping again someday soon.
Though perhaps I shouldn't be so generous ;-) I haven't bought any single malt since the dollar started its nosedive against the pound. Even the cheap stuff is probably getting spendy, now.
Any other fans of the single malt out there? I'm going to have to start collecting again one of these days. Maybe I should host a tasting?

Yeah, I meant to be there, but I'm buried in work right now. I worked until 4m and then was up at 10am and back at it today.
Tonight, I think I'm starting with the Los Angelopes and then turning around at the mdpoint to ride back to the westside with the Rocky Horror crew to catch the movie.
