laphroaig is great and hard to beat, i'll have to try the lagavulin 8. a store here had it for $40 and i'm always keen for a bang-for-your-buck scotch i don't care for any of ardbeg's stuff. them and laphroaig are both peat bombs but there's just something unpleasant about arbeg.

lagavulin 8 is a brand new thing and an insane value. what a brilliant choice by that distillery, which is known only for scotch that starts at $95, to come out with something better than the slate of islay 10 year olds for $40 just as they're all jacking up their prices. i LOVE this poo poo.

they certainly could have come out with a 10 year old too but there's really no need (i assume they did this because 8 is half of 16.)

whisky snobbery is lame, don't do it. let people drink what they want how they want. Islay whisky isn't "better" than highland whisky or vice versa, it's just different. whisky is so diverse anyway that saying one region's whisky is better than any other region is almost a meaningless statement, because regional whisky styles are a continuum, and in any region there are many examples of whiskies that wouldn't conform to the style characteristics of that region

I quite enjoy Campbelltown myself, it’s like a Speyside that’s been in the same room as an Islay

Campbeltown has some incredible whiskies. Springbank might just be the best distillery hands down, too bad it got way too popular and it's unobtanium now. Glengyle (Kilkerran) is suffering from the same fate, a victim of it's own success. Glen Scotia is wonderful too, and so far still widely available. c drink s: A sample of GlenDronach 18 and 21. Heaven.

I Never got into scotch and am unwilling to spend my own money to find something I might like, so I stick to the North American variants like rye and bourbon

Scotch whisky is so much more diverse than bourbon and rye.

Yeah Westvleteren is pretty darn good, but it's been long surpassed as the best beer in the world. That was years ago before the craft scene exploded. If you like Westvleteren you should try Bernardus, it's an abbey beer that has the same recipe, but different yeast strain from Westvleteren. They have some shared history where the Watou brewery used to help out Sint Sixtus with brewing or something like that, I forget the details. In any case the 2 beers are very similar but you can get Bernardus almost anywhere. If you strike out in the allocation, I believe you can get sixpacks at the gift shop of the restaurant across the street (In de Vrede).
