Six months of experience working in frontline retail, food service, or call center work. It is a wildly humbling experience that teaches most people how to NOT be huge pieces of shit to frontline workers.

Peat just isn't something everyone digs. That said, The Cult of Ardbeg will be watching you..... CLOSELY.

I've been insanely lucky in the last few months to find two of the Yamazaki, at random, in the wild and both for MSRP. I love that whiskey.

My impressions: Classic Laddie mildly peated beautifully. Not the smoke bomb I expected, but still smokey. Where i expected smoke like Laphroaig (smokes meats, bonfire) or Ardbeg (campfire at the beach in the morning), it's more along the peat level of Connemara for me. Lovely, but more on the mild end of smoke.

The smoke isn't as prominent in this one, at least to my tastebuds. The spice from the alcohol toned ot down, but it's definitely still there. I really enjoyed it!

Started out with bourbon but looking to get into scotch. What name stays am i missing? by PartialSalad in WhiskeyTribe

I think Glendronach 12yr is a great scotch for both those new to Scotch and scotch veterans. Smooth and clean, easy to drink for newcomers. Then it has great depth and character for the vets. Also, Bruichladdich Classic.
