To the ones we can save, and those we can't.
So wait jw black is considered to have peat? I must be characterizing some other flavor as peat then.

It's peated. A significant component of that blend is Talisker.

the double black definitely has some peated notes to it
The benro organic is stupid good; white pepper with a “soft” heat. There is a local B&M that had the 10 year aged in bourbon 2nd that is great as well.If you like that one, look for this one (on left):
Benro 10 but 57%. Harder to find, more depth, more complex, better, IMO.

Hands down my favorite Scotch at the moment followed closely by Dalmore 15. Just got back from trivia, chillin out back, cold as fk (sorry northern bros 35 is cold in in Florida). Gas fireplace in the fritz of course calling repairman tomorrow, otherwise out back wearing my grandfathers WWII flight jacket, which is jeeping me pretty warm. First time smoking this stick, will let you know how it goes. Feedback from anyone in this stick is appreciated.
Yeah, I am back with this one again. Have about 25 bottles of whisky, but seem to always reach for this one. Hnnnnnng!!!!
Went to a tasting last night. The salesman from Edrington said they where beginning to blend more Scotches that will appeal to the younger drinker, mainly sweeter and bolder.
Famous Grouse Bourbon Cask and Famous Grouse Ruby Cask Defined as a mixer Scotch I couldn't get past the lingering taste of moonshine from the corn
The Glenrothes Whisky Makers Cut sherry oak cask Much better then the previous two but I think there was too much sherry influence I'd drink it if served but probably not stock a bottle.
The Macallan Double Cask Gold another heavy sherry scotch very sweet better then the previous but still not a bottle buy
The Macallan Triple Cask Matured 12 year old Sherry and Oak cask less sherry influence then the previous but still very sweet. Lighter with lots of bourbon influence and citrus overtones. My wife really enjoyed it but not a bottle buy for me.
Highland Park Valknut peated sherry cask the peat was very light with little salt or iodine and muted the sherry cask influence still a bit sweet for me but if I find it near the $90 recommend price I'll consider a bottle. Limited to 3,600 cases
They served another "mystery" Scotch that was returned to the Caribbean and combined with Rum. The flavor was almost indescribable. Unlike one of my favorite Scotches The Balvennie Caribbean Cask, this was just all over the place and I could barely get past the nose to taste it. The palate was different but still an avoid if at all possible as far as my taste buds are concerned.
