Please declare your candidate for best Scotch Whisky.

Support your statement.

Sorry for the mis-spelling in title.

Although it's one of my favorite liqours, I don't drink scotch very often. When I do, I like Talisker Ten Year quite a bit.

Edit: Oh, support my statement. I like the peppery touch that fills the palate and I think the best way to enjoy it is with a tiny splash of water on top to release the flavor.

Also, it's a Highland Scotch and since that's the region I get my surname from, I have that silly reason to prefer it, too.

Edit 2: Eh, just learned it's actually Island Scotch, not Highland Scotch. Surname bedamned, it still tastes good.

Laphroaig. ("lafroyg") Why? Because all that iodine puts hairs on your chest is why. In the same way that no one could ever challenge you for listening to a girls band when you are listening to Motorhead, you don't have to worry that anyone is going to call your whiskey a poof when you are drinking Laphroaig.

Talisker is also very fine, and I would normally claim that puts hairs on your chest too but as Prole likes it I won't.

Islay whiskey and especially Ardbeg. Because? Well, the strength and taste of an aged Ardbeg is unrivalled. It is a most enjoyable experience.

Excellent choice Dâriûsh, Tobermory comes a close second with its taste and texture

I'm too poor to afford anything approaching good quality.

I did buy the cheapest Scotch stuff I could find in Prague though. Even drunk it was horrific. *shudder*

I thought there is a prohibition on drinking Alcohol in Islam (your sig)...

No such thing Scotch (and most hard liquers) are horrible abominations that aren't fit for human comsumtion. I don't drink much cause anything with alchol in it has, to me, an under taste and after taste of nail polish remover or permanent marker. Vodka is ok but only as it has no taste.

Alcohol is indeed haram (forbidden), but so is pork, yet I enjoy both. I like a glass or two, but not too much, as I do not appreciate being intoxicated.

And Christians are not supposed to eat any kind of meat but fish on Fridays, give 10% of their income (before taxes) to the church, and give up something they really love at lent.
