I like peat. Sometimes you want to feel like an outdoorsman. I feel like caol Ila tastes like a fruity tire, some dirt, and a day old bonfire. I like that. I prefer the illusion of peat. I Feel like laphroig and ardbeg are actually melting down the old tire and mixing it in the whisky, and if I hate myself enough I'll drink that instead...and you know what? I love that too.
