Ok, I'm about done with my first bottle of real scotch (Glenlivet 12).I'm ready for my second bottle. I was wanting something with a little moredarker taste. If I understand this right, the older a scotch then thedarker the taste. Is that correct? I was wanting to try something around an 18 year old scotch. Anyrecommendations? From reading this group the last month or so I came upwith these scotch's that seem to be mentioned a lot: Glenfiddich,Dalwhinnie, Highland Park, Glenmorangie, Lagavulin and Macallan. Anyrecommendations from this list?Thanks!

Glenmorangie, Lagavulin and Macallan. Any recommendations from this list?By darker if you mean richer, then Highland Park or Macallan.Although the others you mention are all good, with the exception of thestandard Glenfiddich, to quote from The Three Bears: The Dalwhinnie would be too fruity. The Glenmorangie would be too woody. The Lagavulin would be too intense for a 2nd whisky.A lot of 18-year-olds will be even more light and ethereal than 10's or12's, so I wouldn't count on them being 'darker'.

Thank you! I was wondering where it was. Is it possible for you to send it to me?

Oh, and how do you know my grandmother?
