  Gimme a nice peaty Laphroaig. Something that tastes like a tire fire on a football pitch

    Islay malts always taste like somebody put a cig out in them. Ew.

    Balvenie 14 year for me, thank you very much!

      I’ve had one of those little sample bottles of Johnny Walker Blue. Tasted like 3 feet upwind of a campfire. Flavor profile: combustion.

    To me it tastes more like dry-rotting lawn clippings.

    But in a good way.

      If I’m ever in Scotland I might just take a bite out of the ground to see if I like it

  I’m a whiskey drinker, and this is…accurate.

  Bourbons are often described as having notes of cherry or apple, vanilla and shortbread, like the baking soda tang from shortbread. That sounds nice, like a pie.

  Or they’ll hand you an Irish whiskey with herbal or floral notes. It’s pretty.

  Then they’ll hand you a Scotch and say “This one’s really great, it tastes like peat moss, smoke, iodine and leather” and you hesitantly ask if they’d like to go to the hospital.

    Definately a wide variety with scotch, tastes and smells with anything from cigar ashtrays, fresh mowed lawn, salty toffee, woody, honey, apples & pears.

    Personally i love a sherry cask speyside. Something non-smokey with nice sweeter fruity notes, something to sip with a subtle warmth as it goes down the throat that makes you feel like you have just walked in from a cold evening and taken your coat off to sit in a nice comfy chair by the fire.

      I’ve found I prefer Irish whiskies or American bourbons to scotch. And you know what I say to folks who like different drinks than me? Cheers!

      sherry cask speyside

      Love this as well. There is no shame in being honest that you want something non-smokey, sweet and delicious. Islay scotch for example is IMO for people who are, after years of smoking like chimneys, without tastebuds.

    Every bourbon I’ve tried just tastes like corn flakes to me
