Basil Hayden is smooth and tends to please a lot of people. Another one that I like that is similar is Evan Williams single barrel.Damn! I should have picked up that 090 in person!
I tend not to drink terribly often, because I have trouble stopping, but I do have a fondness for whiskey.
I have pretty much stuck with Basil Hayden since my dad bought some to try a number of years back, and I will be picking up some Gibson's rye when I visit Canada this summer.
Laphroaig is such a treatSitting on the porch, sipping Laphroaig 10 at the moment. I tend to wander between Scotch and bourbons, or George Dickel, technically a Tennessee whiskey. The problem with Dickel is that it evaporates so fast! I open the bottle, pour a drink, then before I know it, it's empty!
On the bright side, for a couple weeks after, the UPS truck brings me all kinds of surprises!
The Quarter Cask is my jam. I have a bottle of 10 year now I'm working through, but it's no QC.Laphroaig is such a treat

My dad introduced me to that as well...after he read a novel where some police inspector drinks it.
I'm a big fan. If you are are going to go the trouble to smoke the grains with peat, then do it right!
That's my wife's favorite, when she's in a Scotch mood. I actually like the 8 better.If you like Laphroaig, try Lagavulin. It's my favourite.

Lagavulin or Laphroaig - which is better?
It's the question every Islay fan asks themselves at some point: Lagavulin or Laphroaig - which is better? Let's seek the definitive answer...www.whiskyandwisdom.com
This inspired me to buy some regular old Evan Williams black label 80. It's like the Echo 590 of whiskies -- you don't buy it to impress people, you buy it because it's good.Despite the nice stuff that I have on the shelf, if I had to stock only one bottle, it would be either Evan Williams BiB or Wild Turkey 101. Those two keep me perfectly happy. I often pour those for people and present them as if they were expensive whiskey. Everyone usually falls for it.
