I am a noob when it comes to scotch, but this was quite tasty, so I picked up a bottle. It turns out that I like smokey scotch, and this one has a bit of sweetness as well.

  • Ardbeg 10yo
  • Lagavulin 10yo
  • Bowmore 12yo

Thank you! I remember trying one a long time ago and thinking that I was licking the inside of an ash tray, so I avoided smokey scotch for a long time. I think I just tried the wrong one. Which on the list would you say is the least smokey?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Talisker is probably the least smokey on that list. The Talisker Storm bottles are very tasty.

Talisker is least smokey but at the same time I find it very strong comparing to others (no surprise. It’s 46%). That’s why I prefer Port Charlotte, it’s more smokey but drinks more pleasant as for my taste

Lagavulin 16 and Port Charlotte are my go to smokey scotches but most of the Islay ones have a nice smokey taste
