Popular Scotch Brands

There were years when I was a beer and tequila guy, then I got real fat. And then I found that you could actually go on a diet and drink scotch. Then I got hooked on scotch, and if you get hooked on scotch, then everything else just tastes wrong. ~ Ron White.

I think the above quote represents every emotion that scotch lovers feel for their favorite drink. Scotch, a drink of a gentleman, a drink which has been used as a status symbol and as an attention grabber, no matter who's holding it. The fragrance, the look and the taste; scotch is something which every successful man drinks and young teen hopes to drink someday. When you talk about alcoholic drinks, they always represent the country they originated from. Facts say that beer came from Germany, vodka came from Russia, and scotch originated from Scotland; so it is obvious that the most popular scotch brands come from the land of bagpipes.

Experts have spent a considerable amount of time understanding the method of making scotch and they say it is a long procedure. The main ingredients of a great scotch whiskey are good water, malt, fermented barley, distillation, some presto and you have yourself the best scotch. People who have good knowledge about scotch, must be aware of the that every year various award functions are held just to determine the best brand of scotch in the world. Many people don't agree with it because for everyone who drinks scotch, he/she has his/her own favorite scotch brand. My advice for you is just go out there and search for your favorite scotch brand. In the early 70s' and 80s' the whiskey world was dominated by blended products and there was a lot of hysteria surrounded on the history and origin of scotch.

However in the late 90s', the attention gradually shifted to popular scotch brands and scotch drinking etiquette. I am still amazed by the beauty of the scotch, its taste, its smell and that color; it is nothing but pure, fine heaven. Now in 2010, every formal meeting and a get together is incomplete without a bottle of scotch, almost every cocktail party is incomplete without a good brand of scotch.
