If you like peat you've gotta try Lagavulin - its definitely the "peatiest". You can get Lagavulin water to go with it, if you like water with your whisky, its beige because of the peat bogs it filters through!bradhurley wrote:Talisker's my favorite single-malt Scotch; Laphraoig comes a close second. I like peat. Someone once gave me a bottle of 12-year old Glenlivet and it hung around in my cabinet for another 12 years before I finally finished the bottle...I found it boring.
My Italian landlord makes his own grappa and gives us a bottle every year. We're still only halfway through the first bottle and we've been here three years now. Not boring, just powerful!

Usualy a good French and if not available, then Argentine Mountain or Chilean or Californian blanc sautern and preferrably fruity if I hear about a lablel from somebody I trust.
Whiskey if for maniacs and sick people, but what would I know descended from the Royal Higland Clans!

This has to be a Scotsman's dream, selling brown water for $$$.perrins57 wrote: If you like peat you've gotta try Lagavulin - its definitely the "peatiest". You can get Lagavulin water to go with it, if you like water with your whisky, its beige because of the peat bogs it filters through!
How do you prepare for the end of the world?
Fishie, you left off the Don Julio 1942. If you haven't tried it, you're in for a treat. Be warned, 1942 is very top-shelf and the price reflects that. For 95% of the taste at 20% of the cost, try Don Julio Anejo.

The Walrus
What would a wild walrus whistle if a walrus could whistle wild?
The second mouse may get the cheese but the presentation leaves a lot to be desired.

Black Bush, Tully, Jameson on a regular day.
I've had a go at a dozen different single malts and find them interesting, but not what I want to drink on a regular basis. For anyone who is interested in an ENORMOUS variety of scotches waiting to be sampled, try Ye Olde English Inn's Pickwick's Pub in Stowe. I think they had over 70 different varieties, and a very knowledgeable bartender.
I tried Laphoaig at the bar at Bishop's Lodge in Santa Fe, NM and though I was sucking on a bog. I think I want more of a smoky flavor.
But for absolute relaxation at home, just a nice glass of sherry ,thank you.
We drank 150+ year old Madeira when my mother in law passed away. It was incredible stuff...but we polished off the bottle between the seven of us, and I don't think we'll find its like on the package store shelves. <sigh>
