I drink more Ardbeg and Laphroig than anything else, but I do like a lot of other whisky. It's my main indulgence outwith guitars  and cigars.

No its not, its whiskey.

If youre gonna brag about it, spell it right :P

Aherm, I'll accept your apology in the form of a wee dram. ;)

I am another Islay whisky fan and Laphroaig is the one I go for the most. Not really into Vodka at all (though as a teenager I used to have it in a glass of Cider and I liked to get out of my tree on account of a not very pleasant situation I was in- and so I associate Vodka with bad times and have no desire to ever drink it again).

If I were Shobert I would put that Turtles mug to good use and work my way through those bottles.
Some of those will need to last a bloody long time as I'm never going to get them again for the price I paid. Especially the Port Ellen bottles.

I like quite a lot of the independent bottlers, Signatory being a stand out one for consistency of quality from my experience. You can't beat the Islay malts for that in your face peaty iodine taste. However I do like the mainland distilleries as well. I'm quite lucky/unlucky - depending on my bank managers opinion - to have this shop just up the road http://www.wineandwhisky.com, it's a terrible place!

I'll shut up now before I bore you all to death.

Not a fan of scotch whiskeys at all but Bourbon does have a soft spot. Every time I go to a show with these guys (www.myspace.com/motorcitydaredevils) a LOT of Wild Turkey gets drunk :D

Vodka is also another close to my heart and TBH, for stuff straight from the supermarket you can't really get much better than Stoli.
GREAT GOOGILY MOOGILY!

Glenmorangie Port Wood Finish is my tipple of choice:



Now there's a man of taste and quality, Glenlivet is very nice too.

I used to like the original Smirnoff vodka but in the last 15 years or so something's changed and it tastes like antifreeze.

It's all academic for me now anyway as I've developed an allergy to alcohol, I can sniff but not touch.  :(
