Malt whiskey is the only stuff that should be named whiskey. It's like putting your tongue on a 9V battery and getting by that a smoked dark syrup grilled beef taste in your mouth which then takes you into the experience.

I was helping my Dad replacing a telephone jack back in "the day". This was an old twisted-wire POTS line, and I needed both hands free, so I held the wires in my mouth so they wouldn't fall back into the wall . . . when a call came in! In those days, an analog North American phone rang by putting 48VDC across the two terminals and then reversing the voltage (IIRC) 6 or 7 times a second, effectively creating a 96V peak to peak square wave. I spit that thing out faster than rancid milk. That taste! That sensation!

As to the Scotch Highland Whisky, I prefer a single malt neat, although I'm told I should try it with a bit of water. I do not care for Islay or Speyside. Those I'd have to spit out like the phone wires. Makes me think a bunch of woad-painted Pictish warriors built a peat fire in my mouth! No offense to woad-painted Picts, natch.

Speyside peaty? You leave me confused!:eek:
While I also like the peaty ones (well as long as the don't taste like Laphroig, but luckily there is nothing else like Laphroig), I can't remember having ever had a Speyside which was heavily peated. The typical Speyside Whisky is in my eyes not peated at all, even though there are some softly peated ones in the meantime.

I'm here, but nothing really speaks to me this month. No vote. Except my frog maybe - I like it, but I can see it's not very good technically.

Here's two more from this month, for no particular reason:

I'm going with #3, @Meamish.

I think it's spot on, on this months topic :D

Unfortunately this month there were not that much entries. I'm sure there would have been better choices than me. Anyway. Thank you all for your vote. I will immediately start a new Thread with a new competition for May.
