I'm a massive whisky fan. I'm in a couple of clubs. 99 percent of what we have is Scotch.
I have a few bottles on the go usually.

I tried a Blantons last weekend and it was lovely. It would have scored a lot higher but it was up against some serious competition.I'm a big Lagavulin fan. I LOVE the 16. I don't often have it because its pricey here in the states. The 10 is also pretty good. I currently have a barrel proof of Laphroaig 10 and a Laprhoaig 10 quarter cask. Both are very good.
Overall, I'm still a bourbon guy. I love the Old Forester lineup. Especially the 1920 and 1897 bottles!! Just killed a 1920 last night
Our last club zoom tasting was a peaty one. If you like smoky/peaty whisky then try Brimstone from Balconies or try to get hold of a Longrow Red.I love it too - but only one or two shots in the evening. I'm particularly fond of the smoky, peaty ones such as Laphroaig.

My personal peaty favourite is Kilkerran Heavily Peated.
If you ever see a bottle just grab it. Very reasonably priced (£47 in UK), good abv (60.9%) and really tasty.
Oh, all right, you've talked me into it. Italian white and some German football on the telly. Yes, I think we could...
Islay malts are famous for their peaty flavour. I like Laphroaig and Bowmore, various versions thereof. Bowmore 15 is probably the peatiest of their malts. There are quite a few peaty Speyside ones as well. For peaty malt enthusiasts, this article in the Scotsman gives a few ideas:I love it too - but only one or two shots in the evening.

Nothing better with spaghetti and meat sauce than a couple of glasses of Chianti...Now, time to go and walk it off...

We eat a lot of tomato based pasta dishes and red meat dishes..we usually have a bottle of Chianti on the go..I'll drink that over a few days, though..gf only likes it in really small amounts so I feel obligated to drink it..tough job, but somebody has to do itI can only drink Chianti with a rich, heavy, fatty meal like spaghetti and meat sauce. The dryness cuts through the richness of the food. By itself, Chianti is way to dry for me.
