nah, all good mate. sometimes the search function isn't awesome. :llama:Thanks mate ... I think I just found all I want here ... I shoulda searched.
Ardbeg 10year and Laphroaig quarter cask should be on your short list.will try an Islay variety next
Mmmm, Nice and Peaty! :llama:Ardbeg 10year and Laphroaig quarter cask should be on your short list.
So long as you drank it when you found it, all is forgiven.I will cop some well deserved abuse for this but....
Woke up Thursday morning and found I had poured myself about 3 fingers of Macallan Whisky Maker's Edition when I came home blind from the pub. The full glass was sitting on my living room table. Oh the shame.
I would suggest caol ila if you are easing your way into the the Isle of Islay. Then probably Lagavulin and Laphroaig once you get a feel for it. I personally don't really like Laphroaig as a drink, but it's a great experiment in the contrast of scotch flavours among regions etc.Ardbeg 10year and Laphroaig quarter cask should be on your short list.
Come around to my place one evening Al and I'll teach you all you need to know, plus I've got a large and varied collection for you to try. Mainly Olorosso sherry cask finishes and a couple of PX casks, not a lot of peated stuff but enough for you to taste to get the idea.any recommendations Sydney area ? although I dont think I'm ready
I hear and you have indulged in Caol Ila too. This is the class of December 2015 and I have a Talisker Skye and a backup Ardbeg. I can't resist picking one one or two duty free.I would suggest caol ila if you are easing your way into the the Isle of Islay. Then probably Lagavulin and Laphroaig once you get a feel for it.

Caol ila has a similar profile, it's just a lot more reserved and balanced in its flavour, while still maintaining the Isle of Islay character.
Just picked up a bottle of Talisker as a gift last week, haven't tried it yet, how does it go?Jura Superstition is bit like Talisker Dark Storm. They are stronger in taste but not as peaty.
It is great to try them all - it's a hobbie. Still give it to Ardbeg as a fine drop overall :happy:

The Skye is quite nice and a lot lighter in taste for me but not as smoky or peaty. It is still there though.Just picked up a bottle of Talisker as a gift last week, haven't tried it yet, how does it go?
