      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 !

            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…

                        I thought something couldn't be too peaty either but man…

                        "Octomore has been peated at a staggering 140 ppm. This is more than two-and-a-half times more than standard Ardbeg, the highest of the other Islay distilleries."  -kl wines description

                          Whisky is described in the movie "confessions of pain" as something people drink and enjoy drinking because ' it's hard to drink' :).

                            Hard to drink?!  Maybe I'm off, but I think it's delicious. just not octomore 😃

                              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.

                                Not really - most popular beers here are pils (Jupiler) and shite like Lefe, Grimbergen, Duvel,… Never trust the majority...  😃

                                    McDonald's sells more hamburgers than anyone in the world. Does that mean they have the best burger?

                                    My favorite Bourbon lately is Buffalo Trace. I can get it for about $21 and it tastes like I'm seriously underpaying.

                                      I never said they sell more than anyone in the world…
                                      That would probably be Johnny Walker, which is mostly shit!
                                      Just sayin, the scottish probably know a thing or two about scotch.

                                        Ok then. McDonald's has the most popular burger in the United States. Americans know a thing or two about burgers.

                                          If Americans created McDonalds i'm not sure that they do know a thing or two about burgers 😉
                                          I guarantee McDonalds burgers used to be a lot better back in their day, but now they have become a product of excessive demand and excessive supply…

                                            Are you saying that the Scotch you're talking about is impervious to such issues? I know nothing about Scotch, btw. Just playing devil's advocate.
