Looking for a sipper something that opens up over time. Don't want to be rushed so the scotch will set the mood, drink it slowly and relaxed. Not looking for a peat monster that everyone will smell on me from across the room.


Bottles I've recently had listed in order of preference.

Balvenie Tun 1401 batch 9
Highland park 15(this is the max smoke i would want)
Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban
Macallan select oak
Glenmorangie original/Balvenie doublewood tie both rather boring
Famous groose, bought to use as a mixer but did want to try one straight, not great but still better then the laphroaig lol.
laphroaig 10 not a fan plus i smell like a medicine cabinet when i drink it.


Bottles i'm looking at, doesn't have to be from this list.
Balvenie tun 1509
Balvenie 21 portwood
Macallen Rare cask
Highland park Valhalla odin/freya are available and i think i can still find loki.
Depending on where you live, single cask bottlings may be available. Glenfarclas Family Casks are an easy recommendation. Make sure you get to sample before you buy.
