Scotch 2

Anybody ever try this stuff?
Lagavulin used to be my favorite, but they had a free tasting of this stuff and I am now a convert. Not to mention it's 58% abv and smoother than a babies ass. But much better tasting. If you like peaty Islay scotch anyway. Yum. What a treat, and only $60 a bottle. Highly recommended.

I like Lagavulin. And Ardbeg 10. I'm by no means a Scotch expert though, but I enjoyed both of my recent bottles of those.
I'll have to try out your recommendation.

Never heard of it. Gonna keep a look out for it now.
I love scotch. Single malts mostly, but there are a few good blends out there as well.
Here are a few I’ve been enjoying lately
Also some whistlepig rye I’ve been loving, not scotch I know, but still very good whiskey

The glenrothes 12yr is an amazing single malt.
The oban 14yr is fantastic as well and usually found for under 50$
The peat monster is one of my favorite blends. In fact any blend from compass box is exceptional, but kind of hard to find.
One of my all time favorite single malts would definitely be caol ila 12yr, but lately it’s been hard to find as well.
Seems that bourbon is all the rage nowadays, so stores have been stocking up on lots of different bourbons, but good scotch is getting harder to find. Makes it a tough time to be a scotch drinker, but if you can find the glenrothes 12 or the caol ila 12yr, I would highly recommend trying them.

My go-to is Laphroaig 10. With their peat process it tastes like drinking a moss-flavored whisky, which essentially is what it is.
Do you think this whisky is peaty enough to satisfy a Laphroaig lover, such as myself?

I would think so but I haven't tried Laphroaig in a while!

Laphroaig is the one👌🏼
