Peaty Single Malts, anyone?
I love the heavy peat moss flavor in certain single malts -- Lagavulin and Talisker are among my favorites -- Lagavulin's asking price seems to be going through the roof as of late, $70 at Bevmo, I remember picking up a bottle for $39.99 at Trader Joe's. Anyway, what are some other peaty types that you single malt snobs out there might recommend (I've also tried Laphroaig--not bad). Thanks.

Thanks Scotto, I've tasted the 10, but not the 15-- I'll be sure to try it.Scotto wrote:Laphroig 15 is my all-time favorite. Can't beat Ardbeg for in your face peat, either.
Not much of a summer drink, though.

The Ardberg looks mighty tempting too... for me there's no such thing as too much peat... well there probably is, but I haven't tasted it yet.
I'm in San Francisco, so the term "summer" doesn't apply -- right now its foggy and cool (much like the Scottish highlands, I would guess). bottoms up.

Bowmore (available at Bevmo). More reasonably priced too...reginald-van-gleason wrote:I love the heavy peat moss flavor in certain single malts -- Lagavulin and Talisker are among my favorites -- Lagavulin's asking price seems to be going through the roof as of late, $70 at Bevmo, I remember picking up a bottle for $39.99 at Trader Joe's.

Knockandhu... love that name... I will be looking out for it.
Thanks for sharing that little secret about the Jameson's and Lapsang, Chris... sounds like total indulgence. Next time I go bar hopping I'll request a "J & L" from the bartender and see what kind of look I get -- or does this little creation of yours already have a name?
