Ravenhair Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Water, now. Last night, it was a nasty, sugary Hurricane topped with a cherry. Why do sports arenas sell this crap? Why did I buy it? I exercised horrendously poor judgment in drink choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hereward Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Anyone here know a good scotch that's in the Laphroaig range?Flavour-wise, you mean? Well, there's not much like Laphroaig, but I prefer Ardbeg, which is peatier, but drier and not quite so medicinal. Lagavulin is lovely, but expensive and mixes more sherry flavours with the peat. Caol Ila is very reasonable, but not nearly so peaty. Maybe you could try a peated mainland malt like BenRiach Curiositas or Ardmore, or even a blended malt like Smokehead.

I prefer single malt, so I think I'll try and get me some Ardbeg, or maybe BenRiach.Some of those whiskys should come with a pronunciaton-key, btw. Just saying.

Hereward Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Of course, if you want to go totally over the top with peat, and have no budgetary restrictions (or respect for your taste buds), get an Octomore. I'd also recommend trying the blended malt. I won't drink blended whisky neat, but that's because it's harsh and lacking in genuine flavour because of the addition of grain alcohol to the malt. Blended malt doesn't have this problem, so can be every bit as good as a single malt, and some would claim even better.With you on the pronunciation key, by the way. Finding out how Ledaig is pronounced was probably my biggest WTF moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
