              I picked up a bottle of the Glenmorangie Signet this weekend.  My favorite single malt so far.

                  I tend to go for those peatier styles like Laphroaig and Talisker.

                    ^Love it!  I actually like the 10 year better than the 18 year… which while good, loses a bit too much peat imo.

                    I will take a 25 or 30 year old Laphroaig though 😃

                      Hmm, undecided as to my next bottle. My 1/4 cask laphroaig is almost finished. None of the deals at work are very interesting, and I really don't want to open my 'Snow Phoenix'…

                        The sad passing of Hiroshi Yamaguchi President and Chairman of Nintendo Co Ltd has made the decision of my next whisky for me…

                          To round of the evening…

                          Hibiki Japanese blended whisky, extremely smooth. Very nice. Caused the girl behind the bar no end of trouble "I've not sold many whiskies yet". :).

                            How's the taste?  Sweet? Spicey? Smoky?

                              Sweet, moved on to:

                              Petercairn which is an Islay malt. So very smokey… Not as rough as Laphroigh though, which is my favourite Islay malt and which Iain Banks described as "an explosion in a chemists shop" or something similar... I recommend Iain Bank's Raw Spirit by the way. A book about the search for the perfect single malt.

                                I know I'm being vague here, but does anyone know the name of a ridiculously peaty scotch which comes in a very modern looking black bottle? Retails about £70 a bottle.

                                Made in England, clothed in Japan, fed in America and drunk in Belgium !

                                  Found it, it's Octomore.

                                    I don't know if you could be any more vague :). The company I work for currently has a Dalmore Constellation for £2,000 the Constellation range tops out at £125,000 which I imagine nobody will ever drink…

                                      I love peaty scotches but Octomore is hard to drink.

                                          I can't imagine that any single malt could be described as 'too peaty' but then, I do like peaty malts…
