Neat whiskeys, I'm a scotch drinker. Blended (Johnny W. Black or better), or single-origin Islay's: Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Ardbeg, the gnarlier the better! We keep one blended and one Islay on hand at all times in the cabinet.
Mmm! I bought my brother some Bulleit 10-year for his birthday, and he's digging it.
You know that old saw about kissing a smoker being like kissing an ashtray? My wife says it's like kissing a peat bog once I've had some Laphroaig. Makes it all the more fun.
