/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Hey /ck/, I was drinking some serious whisky for the first time in my life, it went like this:
Glenfarclas 12yo
Glen Moray 12yo
BenRiach 10yo
Laphroaig 10yo
some speyside aged in wine barrels, can't recall the name
Highland Park 12yo

And man, the peatiness in BenRiach and Laphroaig… Didn't expect it to be that rough. Great experience, but I can't say I liked it, even in the Highland Park, where there's just a little.

For those who like peaty whiskey - was it love on the first sight, or did it grow on you? I'm surely gonna try it again, but it just doesn't seem like the type of taste you want in your beverage.

Glen Moray seemed too sweet, so I liked the Glenfarclas and the unknown wine barrel aged the best.

So, what whiskey do you like? What are you drinking right now? /whiskey/ general
