The Little Bay has no peaty or smoky taste, not quite as good as the 14, but close.

I usually have one of those on the shelf. Store by me has this on sale from time to time for $69.00

Nice, thanks for the info. I don't mind some smoke or peat, but not a ton. This can make picking new scotch a challenge at times. Obviously the internet makes it easier, but standing in the store googling labels is annoying.

Generally, scotch from the Highlands and Speyside are going to be more floral and fruity. Try ones that have been aged in sherry casks, these tend to be my favorite.
Glenmorangie LaSanta
Glendronach 12 year old
Aberlour 12 or 16

Thanks, I appreciate the recommendations. I've had them all accept for the Glendronach I'll try to find a bottle. My wife is from Scottish decent. In an effort to break out of my comfort zone, I mapped out her clans and figured out which distilleries are geographically close to those clan areas. I've been drinking my through them, one of the most unique I've had is Clynelish 14, which I think will be in order for tonight. I also have old favorites, but I still like to try new stuff "off list" as well.

Sounds like a fun quest, enjoy the journey.

Famous grouse!

I am huge about single malt scotch and have probably 15 bottles of it sitting in my guest house bar right now....but I wanted some low tech shit for some reason...and it was a wise decision!

Haven't drank famous grouse in years...kinda missed it!

After a few of these, I change my Kestrel to include Coriolis, because it definitely makes a difference. Moreso on windage than elevation.

Today is deadlifts and whiskey day.

so, I’m in my barn with a bottle of J&B rare maxing our on deadlifts.

I usually stick to single malt but J&B is pretty light and doesn’t mess with the sinuses as much. Plus, if the lifting gets tough you don’t throw up $100+ of scotch on the platform.

At a friends enjoying a nice bourbon

 

[Douglas-001]

Buffalo Trace. I had read many good things about this drink so I picked up a bottle. I have been trying several different single malt scotches lately and decided to try some Kentucky bourbon. Big difference for sure. Much more in your face type of drink on the palate, followed by a quick slap asking if you want some more.....squeak up! I sheepishly said...."eeep....yes, please..."

What’s up with the swastika? I can’t read the words around it.

 

[Sandhog308]

About a mile left in a 8 mile run that started at 0500 hrs. I felt like someone shot me in my L knee cap .......went down and hollered !!... small town , no phone , had to take little steps to get home the last mile. Hurts like a mofo. Not sure what damage is done ???

I am a FNG when it comes to whiskey. I have tried several and I like this one the best so far. How much do we want to spend?

Rye is what I'm chasing now. Nothing at the gettin spot today to scratch that itch.

Closed on a new house today, so cracked open some Balcones Single Malt.

 

[benchmstr]

Had a whole bottle of Lagavulin 16 yesterday. One of my old neighbors is an old ww2 vet who is always sitting in his garage drinking and watching tv.

I lived in the same neighborhood since I was 9 until recently..just different houses. Ever since I was a teenager he would invite me and my dad into the garage for a drink...always that dirty ass Johnnie walker red

so, I use that house as a rent house these days..but every time I’m in the area and see him in the garage I take some quality scotch over and me, him, and my dad kill a bottle of anything other that red!
