Whisky appreciation

[Frederik]

Man... Cigars and Peated Whisky has been a bloody deep rabbit hole....

"As I said to a mate of mine recently:

He that smoketh cigars, drinketh the peaty whisky and shooteth big guns for fun.....

Haseth no money for hunting "

The likes of Kilkerran Heavily Peated and Argberg Uigeadail and always some Caol Ila has been doing the rounds as of late.....

Was me the mate that you told recently, me friend of the leaf and peaty drink?

Have y’all all gone sober or to the premade THC drinks ,Or are we still drinking whisky in these partsView attachment 769213

Since I was the last prolific poster in this thread when you asked the question- yes, the donkey and I have gone sober for the time being and replaced whiskey with protein meals and kettlebell exercises. Gotta get into some kind of shape.

Round is a shape

Well, I’m partial to the peat in your face and iodine on your palate of Laphroaig Quartercask. Long live peat.

Some kind of different shape; I was beginning to look like a glencairn!

I shouldn't laugh, but yeah, I do slightly resemble a glencairn. I'm also trying to get back my six pack.

That reminds me, I need to pick up some more beer; (for anti dehydration and vitamin supplements) for while I'm out clearing the brush for a driveway.

 

[Rumrunner]

One I find very enjoyable.

How much Ardbeg/Caol Ila did you have ... before trying to type Ardbeg ?

 

[Hedge774]

A very unique Scottish whiskey is Laphroaig Whiskey. I bought four bottles while in Scotland to give to family and friends.....and me. A very unique smokey peat flavor.

Unique is a good word for Laphroaig...

Interesting bottle I was gifted recently

I will leave lamphrog to those that enjoy as I don't. If all scotch tasted like that i would save myself a lot of money.

The heavy peat and smoke flavors found in most Islay scotch is an acquired taste.

Much to the surprise of my grandfather, I was fond of it from a very young age. He was trying to throw me off the hard stuff by giving me a little sip of Ardbeg…it backfired as I tried to go in for a bigger taste. Been in love ever since.

My favorite but hard to find. The smoothest Bourbon I have ever tastiest

Tonight’s offering

Nothing crazy here just my little garage bar collection. Got into whiskey a couple of years ago and lean towards bourbon more now.

My top drams in your collection are Rare Breed and the Green River. What are yours? (I need to stay out of this thread or I'll be back on the bottle!)

That bottom right corner is pretty strong

You're right; notice it's not opened. Or at least it's only been sniffed!

I really like Russel's reserve but any of the Wild Turkey products I am a fan of. The Old Fitz 7 is good.

Correct it has not been opened yet. I got it at Buffalo Trace when I toured back in April.
