What are you drinking?

Good, malt whiskey is hard to come by in Turkey so I'll settle for this. Haven't had it before but it's quite niceAttachment 103415

For a blend, it is really quite good!

...I discovered after experiencing Laphroaig, which is so peaty that the Redhead makes me open windows if I pull the cork, ...

I tried Laphroaig once, it tasted like spoiled cough syrup. I tried for 3 months to give away the bottle and couldn't find a taker so down the drain it went. Sad but true.

I don't like peaty whiskey

I don’t much like any of it. We have some in the house (Highland Park) but I don’t even know where it came from.

I can distinguish between types, spot the flavours, etc., but it all seems like a brown chemical. Brandy is worse, though.

Prompted by this thread, I had a glass of Highland Park the other day, trying to find something nice about it. It was OK, but it might be a year before I go back for another.

I thought the same, and then one day I didn’t.

I had a glass of Oban over the weekend, but missed the mild peatyness of the Bowmore.

Laphroaig is over the top, admittedly. Still, I like it.

Never have been able to get into scotch. I've tried several times, but it just doesn't take. Bourbon, on the other hand...

I was the same, but that changes when you find the right Scotch WHISKY. Try Macallan 12 or 15 or 18 year.
