Quote HistoryQuoted: It most definitely does not. As a scotch enthusiast it is almost frustrating how much all scotch is associated with peat. In truth it’s likely only 10-15 percent that use peat. What you need is a Highland like the Lasanta I mentioned above. No peat at all. But... I have read that all scotch and Irish whiskey was at one time peated because that was the only readily available fuel source they had. There are very few Irish whiskys that are peated. One is Connemara which I think is quite good. There, that’s a thing you know now. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Tastes like chewing on a bag of dirt to me. People say not all of it has the peat taste. I'm no expert or connoisseur, but all of it I've tried has had it to a degree or another. Not for me. It most definitely does not.

It's hilarious that people will taste peat in a scotch that was literally made with ZERO peat....but they expect it, so they think they taste it. |

Well I finally tried some without ice. It's a bit better flavor than cold, but more burn.

I don't understand the Scotch thing or hard liquor in general.
"Tastes like dirt and fire." Cool. Ima go with another beer. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Has anyone tried the Ardbeg 5yr Wee Beastie? IdId like to know how the peat levels compare to Ardbeg 10yr before buying.  I picked up a bottle a while back as the place I was buying beer had a display right next to checkout and the bottles were like 20$ . Holy shit . Its got plenty ‘O flavor. Do it . |

Hope these two up my scotch game a bit. Lagavulin 16 is my absolute favorite. The most well rounded of the readily available Islay. I like Laphroaig but it pales in comparison to Lagavulin 16. |

I’ve changed several friends minds simply by telling them to slow down and take smaller sips. If you aren’t used to strong alcohol a big swig is going to be completely overpowering. |
