Oh no doubt! For the price and availability though its one of my go-to whiskys. I'm usually bouncing between the Little Bay, Talisker Storm and Macallan 12 as they are normally in a similar price range. Care to make any recommendations?

Laphroaig 10. Relatively inexpensive and a peat monster is my everyday...

ah, I haven't had Laphroaig in a while that would be a great change of pace! Peat Monster is a wonderful blend, kudos

huh I've never heard of them, time to do some testing! I'll see if any of my local shops carry any of their releases.

Got a chance to grab a pour of their '99 the other night. Though not to my palate it was a good whisky.

Rowan's Creek. Best bourbon ever made at the $35 price point!

Aberlour 12yo single malt. My favorite in the past 2 years!

EnDva is a person after my own heart. I have FallenAngel here on Head-Fi to thank for turning me onto Aberlour years ago and anytime I feel like spending over $60 on scotch, it's my go to. Amazing bang for buck with a little bit of peat, the perfect amount of richness, thin enough to leave the mouth feeling fresh, just the right amount of bite for me.

When I feel the need for something lighter, Macallen Gold does it for me. Less peat, less rich, a little more floral and less thick-- very nice for warmer summer parties.

Biggest waste of money I've spent: Jameson's Gold Reserve. In Canada, I think it was between $100 - $150. I first tried in my early 20s and I'd consider Jameson's newer Crested or Black Barrel far better at less than half the price.

I opened my Fettercairn 9yo (A&D Rattray) last night. Very nice. Needed more than just a drop of water, coming in at 60%.

OK... 2 drops, maybe.

Is that Canadian for "I don't like Oban?"
