I have a feeling that I'm mostly going to enjoy the Islay whiskies that have spent some time in sherry barrels. The peat+sherry combo seems to work a lot better than peat alone, for me. However I should have a Talisker 10/Caol Ila 12/Lagavulin 16 combo pack arriving in the post tomorrow, so I'll get to see how those treat me.Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06448702693643593156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462121554175947733.post-48984902641622494492012-02-20T06:28:59.895-08:002012-02-20T06:28:59.895-08:00Hi, I came upon your blog not too long ago and I r...Hi, I came upon your blog not too long ago and I really enjoy your whisky reviews (though I'm not a cocktail guy). I just "discovered" scotch within the last year. I love Highland Park, and I REALLY love Talisker (the 10, never had DE). I went through the same thought process: "this peat is great, now let's do Islay!" Now after having several Islays like Laphroaig and Ardbeg, I have to say I think Talisker is the pinnacle of peat. If you like Talisker you probably won't dislike Islay, but don't necessarily expect more peat to always be better. Some people think so, but you'll have to decide for yourself.Ryanhttp://valuewhisky.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
