1991 is another way of saying 21..no?

Not necessarily. Dan's post is a bit confusing in that regard. He may be talking about the Nadurra (which is an 18y/o) or the 1991 from any of the previous years... Clarification in 3...2...1...

Maybe in Oholei Torah?

I'm talking about this excellent bottle of booze:

You should. Better than 15/Nadurra/18/21 IMHO.

Dan, thanks for the fork. Any way you can turn it into a poll?

What is your preferred alcoholic beverage:

Vodka
Scotch

(obviously some people might prefer other drinks, but if we start adding it starts getting complicated...)

Takers?

I was waiting for these threads to merge,
Can we at least put Bourbon up there.

If by 21 you mean GL Archive... that stuff is good.

Isn't Bourbon/Scotch/Whiskey all the same thing just distilled in different regions?

Theoretically yes, but try drinking Dewars, Crown Royal, Jack Daniels, Johnny Walker (even the green/blue is blended!!!) etc and you'll immediately agree that scotch is in a class of its own.

Different regions and different rules, for example bourbon has to be from corn

After I wen to yeshiva in Israel for two years the site of Vodka or toot banana drink makes me nauseous.

Most of the time I will enjoy bourbon over scotch if the bottle is under $50 but once its over $50 usually scotch is my drink of choice

$50? Good bottles of both bourbon and scotch can be had for less than that (in the right places). Perhaps that's another reason I'm a Vodka guy

Dan · « **Reply #35 on:** October 26, 2011, 12:14:26 AM »

I think Glenlivet 15/French Oak is a good value for a great drink at about $40 or so.

dealvr · « **Reply #36 on:** October 26, 2011, 12:17:11 AM »

$40 sounds cheap for that bottle.
IMHO, best value under 50- Glenmorangie Original

myb821 · « **Reply #37 on:** October 26, 2011, 12:17:45 AM »

good scotch is hard to be had at much less then 50

Depends where you shop IME. You said you like Tomintoul, I just bought the 16yr for $33 in Brooklyn IIRC.
