What are you drinking tonight?

But, @Somnos is a supermodel, and well, you know how they are. You're a (semi)normal dude who shaves his eyeballs.

Batch #2 vs Batch #5

@NurseDave oh you great sipper of single malts, A question for you:
- If they're so good, why are they still single?



Okay, that's not it.

If I like the big-3 Glens (livet, fiddich, and morangie..... the last one best), which of the following would be up my alley:
- Brook Laddie
- Boona ha van

I know these two Islays are not like the fuity Glens, but I've had peaty peat peat before and liked it. Can't remember the name, but it was pretty expensive @ around 200 Euro for a 750ml according to my nephew of refined tastes in the UK... yeah, I ain't spending that.

Both are good Sam. However, if I were to go for a non-peated Islay (both your choices are) it would be the Classic Laddie all day long. But it comes in at 50% ABV.

Dood, I’m the newbie in this area. Ed was drinking this stuff while I was still, well when I wasn’t. I know the crowd here likes the Classic Laddie, but it didn’t do much for me. So I would say the standard Bunnahabhain line would be more similar but a step up from those you mentioned. But it also isn’t peated. For that you would need the heavily peated Port Charlotte which is a nice intense peat without the crazy ash or bandaid flavors of the big three.

I love Islay…well all Scotches really (the good ones you know) I love the Classic Laddie but more so the distillery and it’s mantra.

However…tonight

I don't drink and drive (not even after a sip), but Google Maps says Ed's house is only 2 hr 14 mins walk away.

 

[woodpusher]

@woodpusher can I ask in all seriousness, have you had a liquor in the past that you actually enjoyed? Follow-up question. If so, WHY NOT JUST BUY THAT AGAIN???

Took me a while to find this, but I knew you had given me some sage advice earlier on. The GLENxxxxxxxxx's it shall be.

Yes! Help out this poor lost soul wandering aimlessly in a sea of liquor.

Come on man. What brand? How did you brew it?

Old Forester Statesman

 

[GearNoir]

Had some semblance of a Cuba Libre this evening…no idea if it was correct, the bartender had never heard of it before. It was pretty good though!

 

[DeepSea]

The Old Forester wasn’t doin it for me. It had a very bitter off putting finish. Not sure if it’s the whiskey or if my buddy forgot to rinse the sample bottle after cleaning it.

Back to the Ardbeg!

Nothing fancy or upscale. Just plain old Folgers in a Mr Coffee machine.
