Scotch of the week!

anyone here try or like Ardbeg? It's some seriously peaty shit. I'm more of an Speyside whisky drinker preferring Glenlivet and Glenfiddich but my Uncle gave me some Ardbeg last x-mas and man that's some seriously smokey stuff lol. Wondering if anyone else likes it...

Im giving it a go tonight! I love the peaty stuff!

Ardbeg is the name of a trail up here.

There you go, that's the stuff. Let us know what you think

Well it certainly has the peaty nose and flavor that I love. I enjoyed the taste and is a cheaper alternative to the Lagavulin which costs about twice as much. Granted the Lagavulin is far more rich than the Ardbeg, for half the price its a pretty good scotch!

Jmatta33 how was this? I've had a couple cask strength before and found it muddies the taste.

Thanks,

If you are referring to the Glenlivet, I'll just say I am not a fan. It has a spice flavor to it that almost tastes like rum. I know there are some people out there that love it, im just not one of those guys. Its the only Scotch I have had that I didn't really enjoy. While I have enjoyed various malts with different flavor profiles, the rich and peaty ones have been my personal favorite. The Lagavulin and Laphroaig have been the best that I have tried thus far in that category. I am very new to this so Im not an expert by any means and taste is obviously subjective to the individual.
 
Just got a fresh bottle and its a great alternative to a $100 bottle like a Lagavulin! Nice and peaty, great flavour and very smooth! ImageUploadedByWAYALIFE1421868851.225246.jpg
 
Glenlivet 18

The go to, at $56 a bottle it paid for my Costco membership for years.
Sadly they have not had it in stock recently.

I really like trying different scotches. Developing a taste for speysides. Particularly the non-sherried finishes like benriach 12 and ancnoc 12. Haven't tried the glenlivet yet though
