If you're looking for some obscure scotches, I have a few you might be interested in...

Glenturret -- Made in Crieff, which is in the Central Highlands. The distillery claims to be the oldest contiuously running. They have a very small operation. The distillery makes the same amount of scotch in a year as Macallan makes in a day!

Here's the catch. They don't export to the US. You have to try and find an Independent Bottling or see if there is a UK merchant who will ship it to you.

Littlemill -- This is a Lowland scotch. It's made just north of Glasgow. Lowland scotches tend to have an earthier, grassier taste to them. Little mill is a nice smooth scotch. It's also fairly inexpensive.

Inchmurrin -- Inchmurrin (INK - MYUR - IN) is made at the Loch Lomond distillery in an area with some of the highest mountain peaks in the country. Inchmurrin is a middle if the road scotch with great honey and heather flavors and a real smooth finish. Some Independent Bottlings will be sold under the name Loch Lomond, but these are not directly bottled at the distillery.

Glenlochy -- This one might be a little harder to find. The distillery closed some 20 years ago and bottlings are getting scarce. Made in Fort William which is a little town at the foot of the tallest mountain in Scotland, Ben Nevis. Just like Inchmurrin, it's got those really great middle of the road honey and heather notes with a little more of that peat flavor.

There are few things I know a lot about. Scotch is one of them. I hope you get to try some of these. If anybody has any questions. I'll be glad to talk whisky till my finger bleed from typing.

Later.
