I was thinking of @puppylove_sugarsteel on Sat night sipping on some Laphroaig 10 yr. No there wasn't any Copenhagen in my lower lip and it wasn't 18 yr, but still...

Few years back I would have said Highlands or Speyside, but my palate has shifted heavily towards Islay lately.

I’m in my Irish whiskey phase right now.

I like Ardbeg and Lagavulin, so I’m going with Islay. Lagavulin being probably my favorite.

You've been watching too much Tommy Shelby lately.

Lagavulin is tough because they don't play in the $50 - $60 pour people like me price point. Ardbeg and Laphroaig do fortunately.

Aye. And Bushmills is just the right match with the Peaky Fucking Blinders!!!

This happens in a session for me. I don't think I've ever started an evening too peaty but often end up there. If I'm only having 2-3 usually hang in the highlands/speyside

I love Islay scotch, but it's difficult to drink with food. The peat dominates the palate. Highlands on the other hand, I find more balanced. You get the peat but also a more smooth finish. I have yet to find a more balanced scotch than Oban 14.

I tend to play in the bottom half of the field be it peated or non peated.

I will add, drinking Lowland scotch is like drinking piss.

Never drink scotch on the rocks or with an ice ball. It shows you're a novice, and likely a gigantic wuss. If the scotch is too strong, just give it literally a single drop or two of water. It changes the entire makeup of your pour.

I don't like to add water, unless it's over 90 proof.

Me neither, but it's a better alternative for people that do.
