What Did You Drink Last Night?

[jamespowers]

Hi,

Had a glass of Caol Ila distillers edition special release, wonderful!


Cheers Joakim

That is a great one! Price is somewhat prohibitive but it is a great single malt.

Hi

I may be stuck with Glenfiddich because my handy dandy hippy dippy local liquor store doesn't carry either Dewar's White Label or Famous Grouse. I gotta have a more regular daily scotch too. The Laphroaig is a little smoky for every day drinking.

Later

Glenfiddich is a good daily drinker...

If you want the smokiest single malt try Ardbeg.

I do not usually drink vatted whisky so I have not tried PeatMonster. It sounds good so I will need to look out for it.

Just a little smoky.

Peatmonster blows away Ardbeg---even when you coinsider Ardbeg has an advertisement comparing itself to an elephant:

You missed this I bet:

I love the tagline "I've been to Milwaukee, I ought to know..."

Hi

I found a 1.75 L bottle of Famous Grouse at a place called the cellar, a real booze super-store.

It was a play on Blatz's jingle at the time "I'm from Milwaukee, and I ought to know."

On Groucho and Milwaukee, back in 2004 or so when the old Pabst Brewery in Milwaukee was purchased by a developer, they found pics of many celebrities, including Groucho Marx at the Pabst Brewery, back in the 1940's. Interesting what ends up in basements!

Way too much Beefeater gin and fresh squeezed orange juice.

A respectable '09 Tempranillo.

Hi After discussing Scotches at work with a native Oklahoman, I went by the Thunderbird liquor store in Norman OK and asked the hippy dippy dude which Scotch was the smokiest he had. I came home with a fifth of Laphroaig 10 year old and by GAWD it's smoky. It went extremely well with the smoked Cheddar and Trisquits I had for dinner. I need to get some BBQ on the way home for tomorrow night and get well and truly smoked. Later

Laphroaig is over the top for me, it has a load of phenolic aromas / flavors like burnt bakalite and band-aide.

I didn't detect the band-aid, but it WAS like burying your head in a peat bog, as I recall. Good stuff!

It isn't quite as bad as it used to be. I remember the original like that but recently I tasted it and it was more subdued. You knew it was the Frog but wasn't like licking one. Malt Advocate said that they have dialed it back over the last few years because it was over the top. It is now drinkable to me when it wasn't about five years ago. I will say that it does still smell the same. It nearly knocked out Rue at the QM. :rofl:

Why spend unnecessary money, when you can get a fine beer for 10 bucks.
