There is a wide variety of scotch whiskeys on the market to choose from. You can choose from single or blended malt although the single malt tends to be favored by most whisky drinkers. A single bottle of whisky can cost $35 to $200 and up depending upon the age, brand and type.
Instructions
1. Go the grocery store (if liquor is sold there in your state) or a high-end liquor store like Bevmos. The next option would be to order your scotch online, but you will need to wait for it to be shipped to you.
2. Find the aisle that contains the hard alcohol. If you are not certain where to go simply ask the store employee to point you in the right direction so that you can find what you need.
3. Look for the section of the aisle that says scotch whiskey. If you are looking for a pure scotch whiskey you will need to select a brand that is a single malt. A single malt whiskey is made straight from the malt so it typically has a very distinct flavor. In some cases you can even taste a hint of the cherry or oak cask that the whiskey aged in.
4. Look at the age of the scotch whiskey. If you are looking to select only the best scotch whiskey you will need to look at the age of the whiskey, which should be printed right on the bottle. An 18-year-old scotch whiskey is typically good, while a 21- to 35-year-old whiskey is generally considered to be the best, but it is all a matter of opinion. Typically the older the whiskey the higher the price.
5. After you select your scotch whiskey go the counter and buy it.
