Any whiskey drinkers?

[Blitty]

I enjoy the peat. I am curious to how much peat I could take.

I don't recall you having a third brother..?

Do they like Laga?

 

[Matty]

Half-brother, who used to work as a sommelier.

Half-bro likes Laga. Twin doesn't care for it.

I love the 16, it's the one bottle I make sure I have on hand at all times.

 

[Blitty]

Ah ok. What's a sommelier?

Whats another one similar to Laga that I should try?

 

[Matty]

The snotty wine guy at fancy restaurants.

Other peaty scotches I enjoy:

The whole Highland Park range (light to medium peat)
Isle of Jura Superstition (light peat)
Isle of Jura Prophecy (strong peat, personal fave, somewhat similar to Laga 16)
Anything Laphroaig (mid to superstrong peat)
Anything Ardbeg (strong to superstrong peat)
Anything Bruichladdich (massive range, light to record-breaking peat)

 

[Blitty]

Are all the peaty ones from the islands? How does that work

 

[CASPERWAIT$]

Laphroig is my fave.

Going to have one now.

Pretty much. Not sure why there is lots more peat on the islands and why them islanders like to set peat on fire, but they do.

ordered some scotch at a bar because they didn't have any good whiskey. It was very nice and smooth. Asked what the name of it was and promptly forgot. Always thought I didnt like scotch, might have to give another try.

Sipping on some Talisker 10 right now. We approve. Smooth with a nice finish.


Goes good with my corned beef cabbage and Guinness.

Light peat. Good "well" scotch.
