If it looks like pee, don't drink it


I'm done spending big bucks on any whiskey which is yellow. Good single malt whiskey should be brown. Think about it - Irish, Scotch, or American, all of the really flavorful whiskeys have a rich brown color. Now I do like Dewars White Label occasionally, but that's a blend, and a whole different financial category than a single malt like Auchentoshan or Knappogue. Those pale yellow-colored whiskeys just don't have the depth of flavor that I want from a single malt.

Never eat yellow snow... Oh, and The Macallan is the best.

I love The Macallan, but they've been raising their price over the last few years. Now my go-to Scotch, when I'm not trying something new, is the Balvenie 12yr doublewood.
