I think I'm allergic to Rye whiskey.

In reply to Beer Baron :

I was thinking about that last night also.  Just wanted to clarify the point on Jaeger.  It turns me into a wanna fight everyone drunk.  That was when I was young.  I don't really get drunk anymore.  But anyway it wasn't the snot reaction with Jaeger.

::Shrug:: And some people aren't fans of heavy peated Islays. I'm guessing that someone into rums, bourbon, and Seagrams VO will like Monkey Shoulder more than Laphroig.

Personally, I prefer Lagavulin over Monkey Shoulder over Laphroig.

Is Laphroig the one that tastes like Ambesol and campfire?

It tastes like happiness and campfire to me

Irish alcohol will cure you.  

One time in my 20’s I really wanted to see my buddy’s band play.   I was sick with a significant fever.  They were at an Irish pub, early 90’s, winter hot loud and smoky.

I drank only Irish beer, a couple car bombs possibly a shot or two of whiskey.  Woke up the next day.

Not only cured but felt better than ever.   

I’ve been out and about, had two Bud Lights and felt like I got run over by a train.  Cheap and dirty has its place but not in my body.

I don't know what Ambesol smells like, but probably. Other heavily peated Scotches I'd describe as "campfire", "cigar", "driftwood bonfire", "barbeque rib char"... Laphroig tastes like blowtorched kelp.
