Hard Drinkers, Lets Drink Hard (Spirits, Liquors and Cocktails)

@seawolf ditto to what @ddtrash said.  I would also suggest Ardbeg's Uigedahl (sp).  Definitely one you should buy a shot of at a bar before going all in for a bottle since It's one of their pricier options.  It's going to have around 40-45 ppm with regards to peat, but the smoothness and more caramelly flavor makes the peat less distinct and in your face than say their standard 10 year or other options (excluding the Blasda).

@seawolf I'm not sure wether the Blasda is still available, at least not in germany. It was an excellent dram, so if anybody has a source with a reasonable price…

Does it have to be an Ardbeg? As BloodnThunder said, they come with at least 40PPM (similar to Laphroaig & Lagavulin) and thus are on the intense peat end (excluding experiments like the Supernova & Octomore).

I'd suggest these malts in increasing order of peatiness: Yoichi 10 YO, Springbank 15YO, Talisker Distiller's Edition, Bowmore 18 YO, some Caol Ila by an Independent bottler, Kilchoman, Laphroaig 18 YO, Arbeg Corryvreckan, Octomore.

@Max Power Thanks! That's quite a list to get started on I'm copying it to a safe place for reference. I'm up for trying anything, and we were just talking about Ardbeg.

[seawolf]

Well, I've gone off the deep end….

I bought a bottle of Lagavulin 16 to try out and loved it. I bought my first bottle of Laphroaig 10, and loved it. I'm screwed.

[Seul]

That's why I'm scared to get a bottle of L16 as well… Loved the Talisker 12yo and it's an upgrade to that'un right?..

[seawolf]

I haven't tried the Talisker yet…. The L16 was on sale for $58 and I couldn't pass it up.

@seul You mean the 10YO Talisker? Lagavulin has a different character, but if you liked the Talsiker, you'll love Lagavulin. More Peat, more Sherry, a bit more of everything.

[browniemcghee]

Talisker and Lagavulin happen to be my two favorites.  The best drams I ever had were a 40yo Talisker (honestly nectar, wish I could have afforded more than one pour) on the Isle of Skye and a Lagavulin distiller's edition (I consider this a real gem at its price point, though it's still way beyond my usual means).

I'm a scotch guy hands down but I visited this local distillery and was blown away by this. Pretty spendy and limited but supporting a local business and finished in Founders cask. It is so good, pick up lots of dark chocolate too.

I bet that's delicious @twin and it's so clear not like our Somerset cider
