We may have had this convo before Sid, but I hate Laphroaig. Cough mixture taste to me. I'm now in another dilemma........ I love whisky I love onion bhajis and Madras curry I love my kids After today I love PDC The dilemma???????? Can't decide which I love the most.
if you go to whisky tasting in scotland they will get you to taste it with and without water. they tell you some malts are better with a small amount of water in them as it opens up yhe flavours. I was one of the die hards who never put water in , but now I give it a try as it can totally change a whisky but at the end of the day what you like is the right thing for you but give it atry
MR, the Islay malts are amongst my favourites. They mature the barrels in open warehouses by the sea, so the iodine infuses the whisky to give it that medicinal quality. Otherwise, I used to drink loads of the Macallan, but they stopped using sherry casks and went to oak, and now it's too woody for my taste. Why they tried to fix something that didn't need fixing, I'll never know.
i'm an Islay man also. Ardberg and Talisker my faves. the family goes back to skye and lewis by all accounts, so that may have something to do with it but i just love the flavour, esp tonight with one small ice cube per glass. will feel like ****e tomorrow but **** it...also have jason day at 50s and Scott at 33 from a week ago.
