round the world in seven whiskeys
Raw
gistfile1.md

round the world in seven whiskeys, if youve drank these seven you'll have an idea of what whiskeys can do. i've deliberately picked "extreme flavored" scotches rather than necessarily "good" ones, to ensure the maximum flavor range possible. there are better islays, speysides, ryes, etc, but my intention is to show the wide flavor of high end whiskies.

  1. islay - Laphroaig Triple Wood or Laphroaig cask strength
  2. speyside - glenlivet, glenfiddich, highland park, or macallan, aim for 15 year or above.
  3. wooded - Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 year, or any scotch with wood in the name.
  4. rye - no good recommendation here, but try one.
  5. bourbon - heavily aged. Jefferson Select 18 year is avaiable in high-end bars in NYC.
  6. sherried - Bruichladdich Black Art or any of the Macallan sherries
  7. corn - essentially "double bourbon". not a lot of high end stuff, but try Hudson.

also, for scotch: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P-BPHpjGkGM6g1vlrAEXms_G-3jNr78Yh_r3_YpW2Iw/edit?pli=1 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZPGmllteXF99KcQgjcNwgdY7_DCEQ8Cdil1IJklKoUE/edit#heading=h.i23il3ual5dx
