Hard Drinkers, Lets Drink Hard (Spirits, Liquors and Cocktails)
-
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". :).
-
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.
-
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…
-
Too peaty?
-
I can't imagine that any single malt could be described as 'too peaty' but then, I do like peaty malts…
-
On Thanksgiving maybe? or The next special occasion…
-
Ohhhh shiiiiit, beast mode hits hard liquor.
-
Whisky is described in the movie "confessions of pain" as something people drink and enjoy drinking because ' it's hard to drink' :).
-
The best peaty scotch i have ever had would have to be Ardbeg Uigeadail, fantasticly complex.
In fact, any Ardbeg scotch is great!Other that that, if you're a sherrybomb lover, Glenfarclas is your best friend.
And if you just like a good scotch with a bit of everything, Glenmorangie Original is one of the best. It is apparently the most popular scotch.. IN SCOTLAND… Now that has got to be saying something.
