Software now there is something that always works as advertised, and always priced appropriately.

Quality is worth the wait...Highland Park 16 year old,Lagavulin 16...more expensive, but so yummy!!!(if you know Scotch)...one day maybe I'll order a custom just to give the mothership the business that they deserve, as the standard instruments are wonderful(mind you, they don't make the Distillate anymore...Boo!)

They still may make you a distillate as a custom order even though it's not a standard model anymore.

I have a bottle of a Cadenheads bottling of a 14 year old Lagavulin, I think it's like 143 proof. Best whisky I've ever had, bar none.

Dave,

I feel for your anxiety, because I've been there before. The one thing that set my mind at ease was that during the 1.5 years it took to build my custom I was able to visit the factory twice (in and of itself was also a great excuse to get away from my west coast in-laws). Upon visiting the factory the first time I realized exactly what kind of cue they had on deck, and how seriously they took the build of each and every instrument. All of a sudden time didn't matter so much~ just as long as my baby was getting the same attention to detail that the dozen or so instruments in the shipping room received.... And in the end, it did. That's all that matters! Trust me, and everyone else on the forum, you'll be happy when your Rouge arrives!

My all time favorite Scotch is the Springbank 15 year. Ahhhh, the peat!

Now here is some old scotch that should be taken off the ice, and relished. Imagine how 100yr old scotch would taste? Mmmmmm, smokey.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/8361995.stm

I love water.

Man, had anybody tried this stuff. It's so clear and refreshing and it freezes into ice cubes. With the ice cubes, you could add them to make your room ambient temperature cup of water; this makes your water cold.

I love water with ice cubes.

Hi Dave, welcome to the board! Interesting thread!

Lots of interesting comments by everyone.

Kevin; I was thinking finish too.

Hal; I like hot water that's been run through ground coffee. Well, not by itself; it has to have some soy creamer added when it's done.

You guys talking about scotch are driving me crazy! I'm a single malt scotch fan and hit 11 distilleries in 11 days in magical Scotland back in May. I prefer the smokey ones (referred to as peaty in Scotland) and so took the car ferry to Islay and visited Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Ardbeg, Caol Ila, Bowmore and Bruichladdich. Picked up bottles of Arbeg Still Young and Caol Ila unpeated 8yr. (only available at the distillery; we should be seeing unpeated 10yr in the States). Unreal!

Then I went up to Rothes and officially toured Balvenie, Aberlour, Glenfarclas, Cragganmore and Edradour.

I love Laphroiag, and haven't had Caol Ila yet...something to look for, thank you!
My Dad has done the whisky trail, and one day I will too...I'm Scottish by birth and haven't been to the homeland since '78, when I was too young to drink...sad, really...'course when I do go back, I'll sound like a tourist as I left Scotland as an infant...might be a good thing though, as a Glaswiegan accent is considered a speech impediment in most of the world,or it's own language...Tony.
