18 year old Highland Park for the rest. Very smooth, sweet but also slightly salty, very very clean tasting with a slight hint of orange. Serves very well with a single ice cube and a mint leaf. 12 year old is also very good.

Oh sod it, I'm going to pour one now..........

Advertising........... I am about as far from advertising as possible but thanks for the compliment. I usually take mine neat but some people often find it nice to experiment. Also, for a novice, it can be quite intimidating trying whiskies so a little water can often let people to look for some of the softer fragrances in the drink without the full power hitting them. I had seen friends of mine quite taken aback with a sip of Laphroaig as it is an enormous hit on their taste buds. After trying it with water they were able to appreciate it better
