When in the John Bull pub in Alnwick, Northumberland, my spouse wanted to try an Islay whisky. Gus, the proprietor, asked her which one she wanted to try.. She told him the smoothest one. He was quiet for a moment, then responded, "They don't do smooth."
Follow Ups:
'They don't do smooth'
I think that is more a matter of opinion....
yes, some are 'quite strong' in their flavor,
but many are smooth....
Happy Listening
Do tell...-I'd like to know of those. I personally have not tried the whiskies from Islay. I like Speyside and the Highlands well enough, but in general I've found most Scotches to be a little peaty for my tastes, preferring a good bourbon or an Irish. Redbreast is good, although not really a Scotch.
Islay is best known for peaty whiskies
as the island has many feet of peat all over and few trees-
The peatiest whiskies do come from the isle.
Bowmore is the least peaty in my experience,
and some of the Bruchladich are not that strong.
In not liking the peat- stay away from Port Ellen, Ardbeg, Lagavulin and Cao Ila.
If you like Speyside, and want a lovely dram, try Edradour - a small producer, just north of Edinburgh.
If you want something of an Island with out Peat, I will suggest three:
Tobemory from my family's home, Isle of Mull
Scapa or Highland Park - in the Orkney Isles - a wonderful dram!
Talisker - from the Isle of Skye
Have fun!
Happy Listening
Actually, I had some Talisker when I was over there, and found it quite good.
