It's a bloody Mary kinda night at Hus Don tonight. What's that stuff taste like? Highland Scotch I could probably drink.

You know, 1 dram of this made in 1966 cost about 356 pounds ($445)? No, I did not try any...View attachment 17640
Happy Monday. Trying to be like Don....
I'm off on Mondays. Just came back from the creek where we have a little "shooting range" on the edge of the property. We shot for a couple of hours.
My eldest daughter, two old friends, and myself. One of those old friends is kind of a "mentor" of sorts when it comes to bourbon or scotch.
He heard me inquiring about the peaty scotches and lo and behold, showed up with a bottle of the Lagavulin 16 that I had been wanting to try. Sitting here sipping it now, happy as I can be!
Laguvulin is much less peaty than say an Ardbeg or Laphroiag. Having said that, the Laphroiag Cask Strength is the best peated scotch I have tried. Not for the faint of heart though. And difficult to come across in NC.
Where do you have to go to get those? I looked em up on the NC ABC site and doesn't look like they sell either one.
The Laguvulin is good, but not as peaty as the Ballechin that got me onto this kick. So I need to find one that is even more peaty than Laguvulin for sure.
Appreciate the heads up on those two.
You should be able to get the 10 year old Ardbeg and Laphroaig in any ABC store that keeps a decent scotch selection. Otherwise ask for them and the clerk should be able to order them for you.
They are showing in stock for the Ardbeg (http://abc.nc.gov/Boards/StockStatus) and the Laphroaig (http://abc.nc.gov/Boards/StockStatus) I think I misspelled it earlier, sorry.
Laphroaig Select is a respectable choice in the Islays as well.LOL!
Yep. You are right. And on top of that, I misspelled Ardbeg (Ardberg)!
Cool. Thanks!
I am a Woodford man myself, and if you like the Double Oaked, if you ever make a trip to the Woodford Distillery they make a double double oaked, it is marvelous!

That's what I'm taking bout.Mostly working on the Laphroaig Quarter Cask tonight. Got about halfway through the new bottle then had to fall back on my redneck laurels and start on the fatback and hoop cheese. Thanks @mj1angier !
