You should have seen my dad's face when he tasted Laphroaig for the first time! He didn't like it at all... Now it's his favorite!
I started with JD and still love it, but I must say I don't drink a lot these days...
A few years ago I drank a whole botlle of JD in less than 2 hours, I've been sick for 3 days (severely, in fact was feeling bad all week!) and haven't been drunk since then!
I've had a collection of 54 different Malts (Scotland and Ireland)but can't afford it anymore... (Alembic is to blame for that!)
Sometimes I go buy a bottle and on my birthday I always get some botlles (filled of course!)Sometimes when i'm alone or encouraged by my friends I drink a tiny glass though, still love the taste! Hate the side affects!
I still have a vintage 1976 Edradour (May 14th 1976 is my birthday)
Distilled on May 10th 1976 Bottled June 15th, 1999 so 23 years old! Very nice but heavy, cask strength 53,1% vol. I'm trying to keep my dad away from that one!
Cheers!
