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

@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.

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.

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
