Scotch/Whisk(e)y/Bourbon

[skier]

Rather than completely derail another thread, how about one dedicated to these fine drinks.

Derswede (which came from me racing a Swedish car.....) Who is up for discussing Scotch? Glenmorange and Laphroaig are two of my favorites.

Laphroaig Quarter Cask is the way to go.

I find Laphroaig to peaty for my taste. Recently I have switched my go to whiskey from Macallan 21 and Johnny Walker Blue Label to Balblair 99

Balblair 99? I'll have to try it. Laphroaig is nice on occasion, but I prefer the Highland Scotches, a bit less peat bog and sea spray.


Irish single malt is good too. A great Scotch is like a chorus of flavor, while the Irish is like a single clear note.

All this talk of scotch is getting me thirsty. I'm going to go pour myself so Oban (not my favorite, but I have it on hand). Glenmorangie and Lagavulin are my two favorites at the moment. I do like Laphroaig Quarter Cask, but for some reason I still prefer the Lagavulin. It could be because it was my intro to these petey Scotches. I knew I had to try it after reading this article: http://www.bbc.com/travel/story/20150511-why-you-should-never-drink-whisky-on-the-rocks
