You guys might think I'm nuts here, but does anyone else taste notes of malt in their smokes? My (very unrefined) palate frequently picks up malted notes, as in malted barley. This usually happens with maduros; not "naturals." Maybe it's just oak / woodiness, which seems to be a very common...

When I say "best" I mean the best that I've had. I'm not a scotch drinker (well...I wasn't :D) and every time I tried one, It always tasted metallic and harsh. Never ever been able to enjoy a glass neat or on the rocks. Well, visiting my stepson and wife in Virginia last weekend, his neighbor...

My first Nub Maduro (cross-cut V-cut with my Wolf V-Cutter), a Saranac Single Malt (regrettably not made since 2004) and my cigar smoking buddy, Pleepleus!

I finished up a bottle of Glenlivet 12, my first foray into the world of single malts. It went great with many cigars, and I'd be happy to buy another bottle, but I'm looking to branch out and try something different. Any recommendations for this relative newb would be appreciated, preferably...

I went to the liquor store and ended up bullshitting with the guy for more time than I care to share :P I came home with a bottle of Cragganmore 12 year single malt scotch. Its the first "decent" bottle I've ever bought, other than some Chivas I had a while ago. Is there a proper way to store...
