Your Favourite 4 malts

[Lilyboo]

Would be difficult narrowing it down. Possibly along the lines of a Whyte & Mackay 21 year old, Highland Park, Jura Superstition, Monkey Shoulder, Bunnahabhain and maybe a Bowmore. This list would probably change daily though.

[cigarboozer]

current favourites are sherried ardbeg, lagavulin and caolila and laphroig and bowmore.

id recommend picking up a japanese malt or 2 as well, i recently purchased a 12y hakushu bottle, and its quite good. mineral/rain/leaf/grass/fruit type thing going on. reminds me of a tea ceremony.

also, some quality bourbon/rye is usually well received. (not really malt though)

The wife asked me for some ideas on malts to get me for christmas as I'm still fairly newish to single malts I'm using this thread as my shopping list.....although I do love a the 12yrold auchentoshan or a 12 yr Strathisla

Lots of good stuff ... now in about 20 minutes I have got to start the tasting but in an hour or so I will be facing the tough challenge of what to smoke with my final dram (probably the Talisker). Given I like Siglo VI, Monte No.2s etc, what's the recommended smoke from you guys to go with the whisky?
Thanks Keith

Last night we were tippling the Talisker
I was smoking the Monte Eagle, creamy and quite rich, my Buddy a SD No1 EL
Both of us like the combinations

Well a great night ... my guests favourites were quite diverse with The Glenmorangie Signet and the GlenFarclas 30 year old. Personally being a bit of a peat head, I would have say the Talisker Distillers Edition. If you like normal Talisker you will love this: smoother and more complex. Available on-line from whisky exchange.

On the cigars, I am afraid I simply deferred to my default midweek smoke which is an unbranded canones from Havana. Very good.

Nice one, glad it all went well. I'm very much with you on being a bit of a peat head
