He is a bit of an expert in this scene. I know he likes the "peaty" malts so might go for a Talisker or similar. -- Gavsta.

Tesco have some pretty good offers on malts at the moment. I've just picked myself up a bottle of cask strength Laphroig, which I'm looking forward to over Christmas. For seriously peaty, Ardbeg seems to be favoured round these parts - alcoholic peat bog in a bottle.
Lagavulin 16 at a minimum then. You can get older ones, and there are plenty of decent shops on line. Bought a mate a 1975 Glenmorangie to celebrate the birth of his son. Forty odd quid IIRC, but bloody hell it was good. -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) Alfa 116 Giulietta 3.0l (Really) Sprint 1.7 75 2.0 TS Triumph Speed Triple: Black with extra black bits www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk

Peaty, stick to Islay malts.. Laphroaig do a 15 yr old (rather than the commonplace 10yr old) for about 30 sheets, that might be a good choice.
Maybe.

Nah, Jack Daniels Single Barrel. Or, if you really want to push the boat out, JD Silver Select. Nothing like the shite with the black labels.
JD != Scotch Whiskey. Try an islands malt for max impact and flavour. Talisker or Jura. Or smoothies: Glenmorangie or Lagavullan
But have you tried Single Barrel or Silver Select, which are "nothing like the shite with the black labels" ?
I'm just not a fan of rye alcohol. A bad experience with a bottle of Southern Comfort in my late teens is what I reckon gave me the aversion. Try plying me with some at a *osm, maybe I'll gat the taste.
<disappears in puff of logic> <reappears holding glass of Jura> That's better, now, wtf are you on about?
