Oh Talisker 18 years is excellent, I only got to try it once, my father in law showed it to me, it was excellent, personally and affordably I always go for Buchanan's 18 years since is incredibly imported in my country, but when I travel I always try to drink a new one.

Now on the bourbon matter Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 is an really good one :)

Didn't try that one yet. Most of the time I prefer single malt over bourbon. Though I had a very good bourbon in New Orleans from a local micro-brewery ... but shamefully I completely forgot the name of that brewery (it wasn't just one glass, which didn't exactly help with keeping a clear head and remembering everything).

Hmm. If anyone from New Orleans reads this, could you throw a few names of local breweries at me? Perhaps I recognize one. :-)

Hehee! it happens!
