Attn Scotch drinkers

[Gob]

I never disputed that, you silly silly little man.

And you've failed to provide anything resembling evidence to support your "points".

Ignorant little man.

Oh, so one has to provide evidence to show what our individual tastes are now do we?

Did you not read the OP, stupid turd boy?

About 5 years ago I had a taste of some 12 year old scotch (iirc). I would like to try more what would you recommend and in what manner is the t best consumed?

Until you started with your usual childish, thread spoiling braggadocio thus;

Scotch has become the preferred tipple of pseudo-sophisticates and, the number of pseudo-sophisticates being immeasurably larger than real ones, the prices reflect this.

A decent discussion could have been had. (You provide no evidence to back up this claim, do you?)

More proof, not that any was needed that your Aspergers syndrome makes you totally incapable of social interaction. You are so lucky your wife keeps you as a pet.

Boy... boys...boys... with another bout of this nonsense I am going to separate you and send you to your rooms.

Just because he hit you back is no reason to continue. Don't you two have homework to do?

Right again, you mean:

Unsurprisingly, Cognac is made in Cognac and Armagnac is made in Armagnac, in the Gascony region. ... However, Cognac typically only uses the Ugni Blanc grape, while Armagnac uses three additional grape varietals: Folle blanche, Colombard, and Baco Blanc.Jul 13, 2015

Cognac is from Cognac just as Bordeaux is from Bordeaux.

And as an Asti spumante is from Italy and a true Mosel comes from Germany.
Quite correct, rubato.  Whoever you stole that explanation from obviously knows his stuff.

However, when I said "sometimes incorrectly called a cognac" I was referring to the average American consumer of wine and spirits.  You know, the same morons who are driving the spirits industry to all these weird new forms of 'flavored liquors' — like cinnamon-flavored whisky.... or maybe your palate runs more along the lines of a vodka that tastes like salmon or a gin made with the formic acid of red ants? — and are apt to consider any light-colored fizzy liquid in a bottle (with the possible exception of 7-up) "champagne", regardless of whether it comes from France, Italy, Germany, upstate New York, or the Napa Valley.

So far as Scotch goes, here's a couple that are probably more in keeping with your taste in plonk:

I got a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue 8 1/2 years ago for my 50th birthday. Smooth,,,,, but wasted on this alchey. After the first glass (neat, of course) it was TTB. My tastebuds did not have a chance.
IT could have been Flieschemenns ($8.00 a liter) for all I cared.
