somewhat.
Well, yes. I am a Laphroaig drinker, and I usually drink the regular
10 year old.
I started out drinking Glenfiddich (my brother-in-law's tipple), but
then a friend introduced me to Laphroaig, and that was that.
I have tried Laphroaig cask strength, quarter cask, and 15 year old,
all very good. I tend to drink the 10 year old, primarily keeping the
other stuff for special occasions. I drink it almost neat, just a
little splash of water to release the flavor and aroma (as advised by
the Laphroaig distiller. My friend who introduced me the Laphroaig puts
a little cracked ice in his. I do have a glencairn glass that I drink
it from.
I have also tried Lagavulin, Ardbeg Uigeadail, Caol Ila, Talisker, and
Bowmore. I have not tried Bruichladdich or Bunnahabhain, since I can't
find them here, although I keep checking.
There is also a single malt distilled in Wales, Penderyn
distillery, which I would like to try,
and is apparently available from a liquor store across the city from me,
although I have not been there yet.
At various festive gatherings, I have drunk blended rotgut scotch, but I
tend to water it down. And add ice. Doesn't help much.
I have the following in my liquor cabinet at the moment: Bacardi rum,
Lord Calvert Canadian (my sister-in-law drinks this), Laphroaig 10 year old,
the potcheen mentioned in another thread, another sample bottle of
Bunratty mead, some red wine (Shiraz), Tanqueray gin, and Smirnoff Vodka.
I do drink Irish whiskey, usually Bushmill's or Jameson's, neat.

celticgeek:
Thank you. I did promise a treatise, I believe.

I am poor so I don't buy anything very often. So ... I drink slowly. Neat, by the way.
I do go to the occassional whiskey fair and get to taste stuff then. And get pretty hammered along the way. They always give you too much booze at these gatherings. Odd complaint, maybe, but there it is.

Me too! I think ice ruins a delicious whiskey.
RedWolf4:
Indeed. *Sighs and remembers the one time he got shouted a glass of fine Irish whiskey once at a business thing he had to attend. He's pretty sure he's had wet dreams about that whiskey.*
