Well, I just finished my bottle of Glenfiddich 15 yo Solara Reserve the other day and decided that more was indeed needed. Went to the liquor store and they were sold out!!! Said they wouldn't be getting anymore for 3 or 4 days. So I decided I'd wait.

Yesterday my wife and I were out doin' some shopping and she mentioned a store that her dad goes to, so we decided to stop by there to see if they had what I wanted... they were sold out too! But! They had the 18 yo Ancient Reserve, but it was priced at $95 and with just finishing my Christmas shopping that seemed a bit much for me to spend on something frivolous, but then my wife comes up to me and says something to the effect of: If I can spend $250 on new clothes(for an upcoming job interview you can spend $100 on a bottle of scotch. So I bought it, and I must say it's my new favourite, go figure. I could actually make out and enjoyed the flavours the bottle mentions. I think my grandpa and pa will be proud.

So out of the 3 scotches (I'm just learning) I have tried I'd rate them as such:

Glenfiddich 12 yo - This I would give an "OK" rating to, but this is because I wasn't overly fond of the peatiness of the taste.

Glenfiddich 15 yo - This I think will be my standard-always kept in stock scotch. I really like the taste and it's not overly priced.

Glenfiddich 18 yo - This I love, but as it is quite expensive, it's something that I will try to make last and will probably only buy for special occasions.

As to why I've only tried Glenfiddich so far, well, it's due to a couple of things. The first is my budget so I can only try so many. The second is silly, but hey, I had to start somewhere. Glenfiddich is made my William Grant and Sons' distillery and my name just happens to be William Grant.
