Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music?

Natalie,

The addition of perhaps a teaspoon of water to an ounce or two of single malt just files the edge off a touch and makes the sipping even more sublime. And, of course, room temperature means Scottish room temperature, not American overheated.

Talisker is a mild little eastern malt but not in the same league, smoke-wise with Laphroig. Not to say better or worse, just different.

Enjoy!

Twl, the bottle, a few friends and something to nibble on (foi gras nature...) and music. I would like once to try a Chasse-Spleen '66-67.

I thoroughly agree with Bishop who means spring water, of course.

Bishopwill thanks I will look for the laphriog on my next LCBO venture.

Natalie, you may try it as it digestif, too... Clink

I like Scot(ch) whiskey, but I think Laphroig taste like iodine. Laphroig is one of the more popular malts used in blends, but it's a over the top for me. I have a friend who really likes it. My favorite really smokey (think barbecue) scotch is Lagavulin (I'm sure I misspelled it). Perfect on those icy cold winter nights. To each his own. To answer the posted question: it all depends on my mood and the seasons, and oh yeah what's available.
