Which of course it doesn’t. And truthfully only a small amount of scotch is even peated.
But some of it is gloriously peaty. I am going a little light tonight with Bowmore. Peat lovers unite! Attached File |

Lagavulin 16
Next morning my mouth tastes like I ate an ash tray |

Why are you pouring it out?
I like peaty Scotch. Sort of a masochist at heart. |

Quoted: If I ate asshole; that's what scotch would taste like. View Quote The truth is most people either love peat or hate it. But despite scotch being associated with smokiness the vast majority has no smokiness at all. Try Monkey shoulder or any Glenmorangie, but especially Glenmorangie Lasanta. Neith have any peat and both are very sweet and smooth. In fact the Monkey shoulder is too sweet for my palate. |

Quoted: Just finished some Ardbeg 10 View Quote Well... we don’t have peat here so it kinda seems false to me a bit. I guess we could malt with coal ! But I will say this, we will put up about 30 more barrels of bourbon in the rick house and then we are going to do some single malt runs. So not long now! ETA: sorry I meant to quote TacticalGarand |

The only reason people like bourbon is because they haven’t tried a good peated scotch.

I just had a small glass of Angel's Envy Finished Rye. I will now, because of this thread, drink a small glass of Ardberg 10, then I will have another small glass of Finished Rye to wash it down.

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. |

Sat down next to my wife and she goes "uck, were you smoking or drinking?"

Quoted: Ardbeg corryvreckan is what you seek, but shop around for it. Some places around here want $130. It can be had for $70-85 in many places.

A couple years ago, Christmas Eve, I was sipping a glass of Lagavulin 16 Distillers Choice . Girlfriends daughter kept thinking something was burning lol. Finally convinced her it was my Scotch.

View Quote 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. |

I got these in home
highland park 10 glenmorangie the original glenfarcas 10 next on the list to get glenfarclas 21 b-day present for wife glendronach going for a sherry bomb open to any more recommendations for under $100. Going to the scotfest and looking at doing a whisky demo. I believe they are doing Macallan tasting. |

I have some bourbon in the cupboard that's probably better suited to lighting a campfire...

Lagavulin 16 tastes like burnt bandaids.
I occasionally like to taste burnt bandaids. Takes me about a year to get through a bottle, but I keep buying one. |

Quoted: This is the prize jewel of my scotch collection. It will have to be one hell of an event to celebrate for me to open it up. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/23735/The_Balvenie-1893288.jpg View Quote Very nice. I am not a huge everyday Balvenie fan but I am sure that bottle is quite special. |

View Quote I recently picked up the Glenfarclas 25, $175.00 at my local packie ( new england term ) that stuff is so smooth. Glenfarclas makes a great whisky. Going by what you listed I would think you would really like the Macallan 12 |
