Well here it goes folks. I was sitting at work two days ago thinking about Scotch randomly because it came up in a search thread on a different subject earlier in the week. Never really have tried Scotch before but occasionally drink a bit of bourbon. Always been more a beer drinker. I hit the search button again for best scotch. Came across the infamous chart and a few reviews. First night I pick up some Highland Park 12. Very tasty but safe. A real good smooth drink. Then I Start studying the chart and reading reviews and I keep seeing peat and smoke in the threads and it piqued my interest. Just got home with some Lagavulin 16 and some glencairn glasses. Holy wow. Much different than the Highland 12 but in an interesting crazy good kind of way. I think I just found a new hobby. Ha. Excellent evenings ahead. By the way it's been a long tough week at work and that may have had something to do with my newly discovered scotch habit. Thanks everyone for your suggestions in other threads.
