Wow! That must cost plenty! I don't think that is even still around anymore.
It wasn't too bad. It was 44 NZ dollars. Nicely presented and it means you can try the rarer and more expensive whisky without having to invest in a whole bottle. For those visiting Christchurch it was at last word whiskey and cocktail bar.

I love smoky. I like latakia. I like smoky teas like lapsang souchong. However, I do not like smoky in my food for some reason.

It's been gone since 1983. It's too light and grassy for me. For a silent still, I much prefer Brora.

You would love Ardbeg. Or the aforementioned Brora (if you got lots 'o $).

It certainly is pungent but I like it too. Better than how my friend describes it---smells like a wet moldy mop.

James, ummmm you just stated that you like the smell / taste of a wet moldy mop... Are you SURE that this belongs in "The Connoisseur" section of the lounge??

I love me some peat. Caol Ila probably my least favorite of the peaty bunch, but their unpeated version is very tasty.

Unpeated!? Heresy I say!
It just means they don't use peat as a fuel to dry the barley in the drying room.
I wonder if they use a snow blower like Laphraig does in their drying room.

I know, I know. But have you tasted the spirit? I wouldn't buy a whole bottle, but it's worth trying.
For peaty drams, I always have Laphroaig and Ardbeg in the cabinet. As I suspect you do as well....
