Like Whiskey ?
FauxAmish regardless of where it's being produced it's an interesting taste, uber smooth and almost a candy apple finish. I will have a glass when I manage to catch it at a bar, which is rare to say the least, but we have a place here that I go to once in a great while, they get the uber expensive stuff in and sell it at just over cost for a pour. I ponied up $22 for a 2oz pour of the 18 a couple months ago, but I figure that's not horrific and depending on what part of the country you are in that can be considered down right cheap! Usually a bottle that goes for $85-100 at retail sells for 12-14 a pour here, so that blue moon shot to get Pappi which is about $268 at cost, if I recall correctly, is worth it to me. I enjoy the chance to experience new things, I hadn't had it yet, so it was a go for me. In NYC, you can spend that on a pretty common beer, 2 hours the other way you could buy a bottle of anything they have in the place for that haha.
Try some Angels Envy Bourbon.
There is an amount that is gifted to the Heavens of every barrel that is produced. Does not matter the Producer, All Distillery's understand. That amount during the time-period in the barrel that is lost is attributed to a "Gift To The Angels."
Angels Envy is that representation.
What's a good peaty/islay scotch to start with.....I've had Famous Grouse, I liked, good neat or for mixing, Glenmorangie 10, very subtle but good, and Talisker Storm which was way too overpowering with the smoke....I shouldn't have tried it as my first islay....but I could see really liking a smokey scotch whih also had some other hints of sweet, etc.

ode Description:
Distilled in 1961, this was aged for 50 years in two ex-Bourbon hogshead casks. These smaller casks allowed more of the whisky to have direct contact with the wood, introducing richer influence on the final whisky. In 2013, only 200 bottles of this exquisite single malt remained - and they have been released every year, 50 at a time, until now. This amazing collector's item will have aromas and flavours of almonds, coconuts, tree oil, and citrus and tropical fruit with a gentle underlying smoke
i was between getting a bottle of the laphroaig 10, ardbeg 10, and the bowmore....curious on your thoughts between the laphroaig 10 and bowmore 10; and if you;ve tried the ardbeg 10...they were all within a few dollars of one another....i think the other two will get a look next, then I want to try macallan 12, tasting notes sound like it would be right up my alley
Just settling in for a drink right now...
I enjoyed the bowmore last night followed by some abita bourbon street chocolate stout.....going with a dogfish head world wide stout tonight!
