The Dimple Pinch 15

The Dimple Pinch 15

Weirdo triangular bottle notwithstanding, the Dimple Pinch 15 is pretty underwhelming. Sure, it was Walter White's favorite pour, but look where that got him.  Overall Rating: ★☆☆

Highland Park 18

Highland Park 18

You put yourself on an island when you pick your favorites, but so be it: I think the Highland Park 18 is one of the most exceptional scotches I've had the pleasure of consuming.  Overall Rating: ★★★

Glenlivet 15 French Oak Reserve

Glenlivet 15 French Oak Reserve

A lot of people (unfairly) pass over the entire Glenlivet range figuring the distillery is too big to be good. Those people would be missing out on the 15. 
Overall Rating: ★★☆

Benromach 10

Benromach 10

An extraordinarily big scotch from an itty-bitty distillery that might have otherwise escaped your notice.  
Overall Rating: ★★★

Lagavulin 16

Lagavulin 16

Though the joke might be wearing thin, Ron Swanson most definitely isn't wrong on this one. It's a whisky that manages to be refined in spite of how ubiquitous it is in the world. 
Overall Rating: ★★☆

Benriach Solstice 17

Benriach Solstice 17

Sometimes I have people over who have never tasted whiskey before, and if they make it through whatever I have on hand that's encouraging and delicious to expert and fresh palates alike, I typically reach for something that's a real powerhouse for the second or third glass.  Overall Rating: ★★★
