[Talisker]

Luv your moniker. I had some Talisker (whisky...that is the correct spelling by the way in Scotland)) on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. It has a sort of petroleum taste from the waters that filter through the peat bogs.

Ah, you drank the Water of Life in the Holy Land itself. You're a lucky man!

And that taste IS peat - not to much, and not too little. But juuuust right! LOL!

Talisker is a favorite around here.

I used to wonder about all the fuss over single malt whiskey, so a few years ago I went to an upwardly mobile liquor store and picked up a bottle to sample. I don’t recall the label, but it was in the $60 range. The store owner claimed that it was the best moderately priced scotch he had.

I must note here that I do not drink at all.

Well, I did try the single malt. On three different days, over a two week period, just to be fair.

My conclusion was that it tasted like turpentine, and was only good for antiseptic.

No offense intended.
