Whisky, whiskey, scotch, bourbon, rye .. anything grain mash

The time has come for my first real peat (Ardbeg). Potently is the first word I would use to describe it. It hits the nostrils as soon as the plug is removed. Poured into a glass, it flooded the entire room in a matter of minutes. The first glass was unpleasantly. The second tasting, after a couple of days, was a slightly better experience, although I still can’t say I like it. I believe we will find a common language to the bottom of the bottle .

There is no bad whisky’s
Only good ones & better ones

I’m generally not a smokey/ peaty fan but in some cases it’s ok.

In at the deep end there with the peat! Ardbeg's one of my favourites although I do vacillate between that and Laphroaig. Have you tried adding a drop of water to it? I prefer Ardbeg with maybe a teaspoon of water added, it seems to soften it slightly and round out the flavours.

I used to think that. And then I bought a bottle of Haig…

Ah. Enlightenment will come. One day you'll taste and wonder where peat has been the rest of your life.....

Drowned it in ginger ale. Couldn’t bring myself to pour it down the sink.

It's canny for whisky cocktails

I did find that it could be rendered drinkable by the addition of a small amount of Laphroaig but that’s only because the Laphroaig completely covered what little flavour the Haig had to begin with. TBH antifreeze would probably have had a similar effect.

I will try it with a drop of water next time.

Arran is great, it seems older than it is. Now it is time to open the Four Roses .

[Chris]

Bourbon is a type of whiskey.
