Highland Park 18 - dash of water, room temperature... Amazing. A little pricey though

I've actually never had the 15, although I've had HP 12 and 18 many times. The 18 is substantially smokier than the 12 but I'm curious about the 15.

I tried a Laphroaig 18 recently but it tastes and smells like a hospital, as weird as that sounds. I would not recommend

Oban is a great scotch - Marcellis and Rouses usually carry it!

My brother in law (who is a surgeon) informed me that he purchased a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle 23

Does he realize how lucky he is lol !!! He had better odds of winning the lottery than finding a bottle of the liquid gold !!

HP 15 has the perfect balance of peat / I've tried all 3 highland parks, but the 15 might be the best whiskey I've ever drank - PERIOD !! (And I sold liquor for 15 years and have tried many many brands over the years!!)

Laphroaig.....got to get to drink 3 before it really tastes good!

Woodford Reserve and Knob Creek for bourbon. Got a bottle of Jeffersons Ocean as a present, but my wife wouldn't tell me how much it cost. Its very good. Like Jim Bean or Jack Black with a coke, but the best with coke is Old Charter, 10 yr old.....but don't think they make that anymore! Only 8 yr old for sale.

Scotch....oh let me count the ways! Really liked MacAllan before the fire that burned up all of their old barrels. Never been the same since then. I like Aberlour - 12 yr old, Scapa 14 yr old, Glendronach before the distillery was closed in 1996. Haven't had any since they restarted. Balvenie double wood is nice. Glenmorange for the budget conscious. Dewars 12 yr old, if you haven't tried it, you need to. Just about anything older than 15 yrs. is usually pretty damn good, if you like scotch.
