Was in a Scotch liquor store in Edinburgh recently looking to pick up a bottle of Laphroaig cheap. The owner looked at me like I was crazy and asked why? He brought out 2 glasses with scotch and asked me which was better. One Laphroaig and another. Wasn’t close. Clan Denney Single Malt. $56. I’m sipping right now. My Christmas guests already drained most of the rest.
I like peaty Scotches. If it doesn’t taste like an ashtray, it’s not real Scotch… 😉
I like the old standards like Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Talisker, Ardbeg. BenRiach is my new flavorite. I was an Oban fan for a while. Haven’t had Port Charlotte or Compass Box.
