I remember decades back encountering someone describing Scotch whiskey tasting "like burned paper cups".
Not for everyone, I suppose.
Scotch covers a pretty wide range, from as soft and flavorless as Canadian whiskey to very smokey/peaty flavor bombs.

I liked the smokey variants in the days when I enjoyed a tipple.

Caol Ila and Lagavullin are superb.

Stopped by today...no Buffalo Trace or Blanton’s. Did pick up some Eagle Rare though.
I'll have to give 'em a try.

Lagavvullin is extremely peaty, and I know an avid scotch drinker that actually doesn't like it.
But I find that by the time I get to the bottom of the second (short) glass, my palate has gotten used to the extra peat, and it becomes very smooth and delicious.
So I agree, its excellent.

I just recently bought a 2 pack, one each of Bulleit rye and bourbon. Both are pretty nice.

I have some Buffalo Trace been sittin' in a drawer for years - ever since I was dx'd with Hep C, which has been cured, thanks to advances in pharmaceuticals. Liver damage ain' no joke. Never was a real big drinker, but I do like the taste of bourbon. Reading about the brands you guys like makes me wish I could try 'em out, but that's not hapnin'. I find other ways to feed that demon that don't bother my liver, or what I have left of one. Miss beer also. Liked Grolsch.

Yeah, sorry to hear that musichal. But yer right, there's lots of other things to enjoy.
Some of the euro brewers make a pretty good non-alcohlic beer. Becks or Heineken etc. A waittess accidentally served me a n/a beer once, and I was almost halfway thru it before I noticed.
And All I usually buy are the nice crisp, flavorful euro beers. They've been making them for 3 or 400 years (probably not the n/a beers), and the pricing is great for a premium beer. Tho I do love a Guiness occasionally. They should make a n/a Guiness.

Honestly, my idea of a replacement led me to purchase a vaporizer, if you get my drift-cloud. Beats combustion by a mile. Packs two.

Don't be sad for us, we have survived and have so many other pleasurable possibilities for life's joys. Enjoy yours in our stead with our blessing.

A good evening for sipping bourbon, cold and wet! What are y’all having?
