~any other Scotch at almost any price.
Neat. Room temp, and unadulterated, even by water!
I certainly appreciate the new 18 yo, (the 15 yo is now gone I guess). But there is something about this brand that I enjoy so much that I'd rather have some 10 yo than almost any other Scotch at almost any price.
Once the price goes so high it becomes a numbers game, I'd probably try some just to say I did, and to know what it tasted like.
I started out in the late sixties with single malts, after I tired of J&B and Famous Grouse. (Not down on them; The un-official Dirty Harry we invented in Sinop, Turkey in 1971 , is simply J&B mixed 2 against 1 Jack Daniel's Black, over shaved ice. It is a far better tasting refresher than it sounds. The Famous Grouse is good for company that may not be too ready for the funkier stuff...)
But I just love Laphroaig's version of smokey peaty-ness.
I guess I'll just never be a Scotch Snob. :)
