I'm in!

Laphroaig is a different kind of Islay imo, not heavily smoky but with a strong presence of iodine. I get an underlying sweetness that I love about it.

Laphroaig 10 followed up by Dalwhinnie 29.

Once upon a time Shoppers Vineyard sold Zacapa XO for $49.99 and they shipped. Now the cheapest I can find it is $72. It is quite tasty though..,

I told my brother I was interested in trying single malts back in '06 or '07 and he bought me Laphroaig CS based on the rating in (I think it was) Michael Jackson's book. Prior to this I really only drank beer, other than the odd pour of Chivas that I didn't finish. All I can tell you was the...

Even Dr. Pepper?

Dale's Pale Ale.

First was Bell's Hopsoulution. That is some good stuff. Then, Lagunitas Aunt Sally. Sours are not my thing. 1/2 on the night.
