Now ive seen laphroaig  mentioned a couple of times, but i dont taste smoke... all i taste is cough medicine. 

The two times I enjoy a peaty scotches are:

1. When I have a cold and my sense of taste is reduced.   The strong peat will break through and wake up my taste (it is good).
2. When the weather is hostile (cold, wet, ugly).  The strong peat is wholesome and makes me warm.

Other times I prefer a more refined scotch, some of which were mentioned in earlier posts.

Loch Dhu

The black scotch.

Aged in charred barrels, giving a black color.  Very unique and rare.  Definitely an acquired taste even for scotch lovers.

In one review, the guy called it "like drinking bong water, but I like it"

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Your taste buds have yet to awake from their long, scotch free slumber.


Start off smaller, and come back to it.

that said, I usually drink mine neat, but w/a splash of cool water. 

Remind me to explain to you what "neat" actually means....

I had an "interesting" Loch Dhu experience.  Was at McCormick and Schmicks of all places, here in bethesda.  I spotted it on the wall, the  awesome Asian chick bartender poured the last of the bottle in my glass.  If you paid me one million bucks, I couldnt tell you what happened the rest of the evening.....think I walked home that night.  The only time Ive seen that stuff....

For $30 it is certainly worth a try.  All I need to do now is find it!

Good luck.  It is hard to find.  I have a bottle left but I am leaving that for a special occasion -- such as when I want someone to suffer from amnesia!

single malt is totally where it's at. except for islays... not my bag.  ;)

Somehow I just knew I would find you here.  ;)

And yes, whiskies from the Isle of Islay are just plain nasty!  I even went there when I was in the UK hoping that it would be different, but...   [puke]
