I am a noob when it comes to scotch, but this was quite tasty, so I picked up a bottle. It turns out that I like smokey scotch, and this one has a bit of sweetness as well.

  • Talisker 10yo
  • Ardbeg 10yo
  • Lagavulin 10yo
  • Bowmore 12yo

Thank you! I remember trying one a long time ago and thinking that I was licking the inside of an ash tray, so I avoided smokey scotch for a long time. I think I just tried the wrong one. Which on the list would you say is the least smokey?

[–] undercrust@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

Talisker is probably the least smokey on that list. The Talisker Storm bottles are very tasty.

Talisker is least smokey but at the same time I find it very strong comparing to others (no surprise. It’s 46%). That’s why I prefer Port Charlotte, it’s more smokey but drinks more pleasant as for my taste

[–] psyc@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Lagavulin 16 and Port Charlotte are my go to smokey scotches but most of the Islay ones have a nice smokey taste

I've never encounted this, but that's some appealing packaging. I also do like a smokey Islay blend..

My twin loves smoky stuff, the fool. I don't. But we both sit on the Single Malt side of the fence.

It's gonna be highly subjective, so try everything, and find stuff you like; ideally within your budget.

Did you put it down after you saw the price?

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Lol no, I bought it. Treated myself.
