It wasn't this thread that turned me onto it, but I totally agree.
During a power outage that happened in Hollywood last month, a friend of mine busted out a bottle of Glenlivet on night one. Had quite a few and it was great. When the outage went into the next night, a few friends finished that off and one of them busted out a bottle of Dewer's. Didn't like it much at all, especially after having the Glenlivet (a chapped lip didn't help).
When the outage lasted even another night, there was nothing left on the shelf, so the key to hidden cabinet was busted out and an unopened bottle of Lagavulin was presented. HOLY SH*T!! I can't have anything else now. His P.O.V. was that it was a type of drink that you use for momentous occasions and cherish that memory. I want Lagavulin to be my nightly drink and save the REALLY expensive ones for the cherishing moments.
Glad I saw this thread though. Some really good recommendations I want to try.
