Yeah, 16 is their pretty standard release. Ardberg and Bowmore are other Islays that I had a decent amount, but not on the same level as Laphoraigh and Lagavulinmcgruff10 said:Lag 16? Any other islays you enjoy?
Others I like in general...second the comment on The Balvenie, but also Oban (big time), Glenfiddich and Glenmorangie (not sure about spelling there)0 -
Lag 16 is a must own if you like Islay Scotches.mcgruff10 said:I never had a highland before, I'm gonna have to look for it. Bought a bottle of Laphoraig 10 yesterday. They had Lagavulin 16 year for $71.99; I never had it before. Worth a try?
Also keep an eye out for Ardbeg Uigeadail. I love Ardbeg, the Uigeadail is probably my favo Ardbeg. Sooo good!0 -
Another Ardbeg fan here. The Alligator was a great bottle. Should've made it last a little longer.mca47 said:Lag 16 is a must own if you like Islay Scotches.

The Balvenie is a highland scotch.mcgruff10 said:I never had a highland before, I'm gonna have to look for it. Bought a bottle of Laphoraig 10 yesterday.

I’m getting thirsty now. Thanks god it’s Friday.lol0 -
I thought Balvenie was a speyside? The ardbeg 10 and bowmore (which is pretty damn expensive!) is on my short list. I'd love to try the Lag 16 before shelling out $75...anybody want to send me a sample?DavidD said:The Balvenie is a highland scotch.I don’t mind a little bit of peat but not a fan of Smokey whiskey so I tend to stay away from the islay scotches.

Ciffy, Oban is the real deal? I never had it.Post edited by mcgruff10 onI'll ride the wave where it takes me......0 -
It's owned Diageo which blows, but I dig it. It's what I drank at my wedding so maybe a bit biased. Definitely enjoy it though.mcgruff10 said:I thought Balvenie was a speyside?

Especially since Weller 12 is a $50 bottle. $350 secondary...gtfohmarkymark550 said:I agree. It's stupid for things to be so overpriced. There are plenty of bourbons that are delicious and don't break the bank.0 -

Yeah, it's dumb. But now half way, I gotta finish it out.bbiggs said:That’s why I don’t participate in dry January 0 -
I m only drinking on Friday and saturday. I picked up some bad habits during covid.Cliffy6745 said:Yeah, it's dumb. But now half way, I gotta finish it out.I'll ride the wave where it takes me......0 -
Yeah man. Same, which is why I’m doing this. I was alright about not drinking during the week, but work would be brutal (which obviously no complaints), but I’d get to the weekend and drink my face off. A little break does a body goodmcgruff10 said:I m only drinking on Friday and saturday. I picked up some bad habits during covid.0 -
Nah. Not dumb at all. Good to hit reset and take a break from time to time. Good for youCliffy6745 said:Yeah, it's dumb. But now half way, I gotta finish it out.0 -
I just bought old fashioned mix off of amazon. Never had one before, any tips/suggestions? Garnish with a cherry? Orange?I'll ride the wave where it takes me......0

Whatever you use to sweeten it (simple syrup or sugar cubes), go light. That is my recommendation. Heavy bourbon, lighter on the sweetener, few dashes of orange Bitters and/or Bitters. A lot of bars prepare them way too sweet imo. A well prepared old fashioned is outstanding though.mcgruff10 said:I just bought old fashioned mix off of amazon.
