10. Love the Balvenie Double Wood

And Craggenmore. Cardhu is pretty good if you like smoky. Craggenmore's the best though IMHO.

15. Will I be punished for buying the Double Wood from Sam's Club?

They have it for $10.00 less than my local liquor store.

18. I'm a Costco member, and now I'm admittedly envious

Cause Costco's Scotch selection ain't much to write home about.

That said, the best place to buy single-malts is CANADIAN DUTY-FREE SHOPS. Or at least they were before the US dollar tanked.

7. I just got a bottle of 21-year Balvenie Portwood for my birthday

Finally cracked it last night while watching the debate. It was fucking awesome. Like drinking a campfire.

16. In Scotland, they make whisky. Whiskey is Irish or American.

And the Balvenie 30 year is wonderful! So is the Balvenie Double Wood. Yummy!

20. The great thing about Scottish whiskey

is that there are so many different kinds. And its so hard to tell which is better, that you really have to try them all. Many times.
