This is a nice hunting list.
To be honest I just get 1-2 bottles for 50-100€ a year from my local liquor store and slowly socially have them over dinner when friends are over.
I did try Laphroig, but I’m not sure I’m big on smokyness. Last one was Glenlivet Distillers Reserve. Going through Macallan 12 now.

I really don’t like drinking anything above 50%. 43% is just right me- laphroaig is my go to scotch…unfortunately I am Russian and drink about a third of a bottle per sitting if not the whole half. The 16 takes me longer to drink for sure- I would say 5 sittings. I can drink it faster but the 16 I like to savor, no reason to drink it quick. Those 5% make a difference to me. The 30 year laphroaig I spoke off is 46%- that already tells me it is magical.
Not a fan of trying different whisky’s. I have dipped and dabbled when I was younger but Laphroaig is my one true love. Macallen gives me a very angry mood….and off the topic of scotch and to the topic of whisky, I don’t understand how people drink Jameson..
Cheers to you all good ppl
