Laphroaig... Talisker... Aberlour... You guys keep it up I am going to head for the whiskey cabinet a little early today... before noon even!

A little moonshine never hurt any one ether just blinded them

The best sourmash I have ever had came in a mason jar, so has the worst. Approach with caution!

Redbreast. Absolutely the best value on a Pot Still Irish Whiskey, even if it is about twice the cost of Michael Collins (if you find a good deal).

Unless you're talking about the 15-year old Laphroaig, which is a completely different subject.

Meh - it still tastes like a sherry barrel to me. Give me an Aberlour 16 any day - same price, but much better.

When I used to drink it was Rum&coke with 151 a mans rum, why wast time. A little moonshine never hurt any one ether just blinded them, but then again hanging out with brothers help me build a tolerance. And the there is alway mad dog or thunder bird with 7up, makes it go around more, the 7up I mean, them are fine wines for us poor folk.

If you're partial to island whiskies (as I see some of the previous commenters are), I suggest trying Talisker.

I adore Talisker. I received a bottle of 18 year old Talisker as a gift earlier this year and it was sublime.

I do drink bourbon but I'm afraid my tastes in it are rather plebeian. I like Early Times better than anything but a few really expensive small-batch bourbons.

If you're partial to island whiskies (as I see some of the previous commenters are), I suggest trying Talisker. The difference between Talisker and, say, Laphroaig is not unlike the difference between drinking a fine cognac and chewing on a sherry barrel.

Unless you're talking about the 15-year old Laphroaig, which is a completely different subject.

In solidarity with our next Vice President, Sarah Palin, I will be forgoing whiskey in favor of crystal meth.

Plutocrats. (But I am partial to Laphroaig.)

for my recent 50th, several freinds showed up to shove me down the slope of my 2nd 50, and they brought several bottles of single malt to help ease the way. One of the best was Ardbeg, a 10 year old Islay with a really nice peaty flavor that was also very smooth. I still have a little so I don't know the price, but as a 10 yr old, it can't be bad.

Also, for when times get really bad, I like Crawfords (a blended, god furbid) Smooth with a nice flavor, and nothing more, but at $25/litre...

Dont over look Elijah Craig either. I find it a very good bourbon for the low $20/fifth range.

I'll have to try the Dalmore Cigar Malt, I've seen it in the stores, but haven't tried it yet. I just recently finished a bottle of Glenfiddich 15 year Single Malt. At $43 not exactly a steal, but ten dollars cheaper than comparable Scotch's.
