Don't how I only found this now, I only drink once every few months or so and really only hit the whiskey on a few days a year, If I'm looking for something to pair with a cigar I usually go with makers. Used to have friends who let me drink the good stuff occasionally, I have had taste of fiddich 30 and I can't say it was too much better than 18, different but not a couple hundred dollars different. I stay away from the scotch most of the time because they get out of control with cost quickly, so I would say when I do drink it would be makers on the rocks or straight depending on my mood.
