I think some Islay scotch is the best? What is your favorite scotch?

Glendronach sherry cask has been my favorite so far. I do love me a big peat monster but there's something about sherry.

May I ask you a weird question. I love the Iksar in this game so much. Is there any scotch by design for example that has something to do with the Iksar? I feel like the Ardbeg design resonates with Iksar design. They have a similar font as to what is used in the Iksar captical city Cabilis. Is there something else though because I'm getting bored of Ardbeg.

I mean, am I wrong? :D That Ardbeg has a similar font to Iksar Cabilis?

If Iksar were real, what scotch would they drink?

I tried the Glendronach 12 and I heard they watered it down lately. It was good but a little bit too watery. I mostly tried Laphroaig and Ardbeg only. I also tried lots of Bourbon like Knob Creek 9 and Woodford Double Oaked, these were the best bourbons I've tried. Is there any Glendronach or other scotch you can recommend to me? I can recommend you Knob Creek 9 if you want to try Bourbon. John Wick drinks Bourbon.

You know what I'm bored of peated Islay Scotch. I had the entire core range of Ardbeg which is supposed to be like the best peated Scotch and I had Laphroaig Quarter Casks.
If I wanted to try Sherry what can you recommend? Are Glendronach and Bunnahabhain the best? Only had those so far.

They have IPA in Cabilis. Does this mean the Shissar which conquered them were British.

McCallan 12 yr sherry cask is an ole reliable.
Isn't McCallan the most overpriced marketing whisky? I think Glendronach is a better sherry scotch than McCallan. I wonder what's the best tho. I only know peated scotch of which Ardbeg and Laphroaig are the best...

The McCallan is pretty good stuff. It all comes down to personal taste, but their 18 year Sherry Oak is better than anything you can pull off the shelf in most stores.
I suspect there are many better scotches that aren't internationally marketed / branded, and I don't spend the kind of cash to taste test McCallan's older stuff, but I like that one quite well.
next time i hyperfixate on scotch whisky i wanna go down the accelerated aging methods rabbit hole, couple brands are using stuff like high pressure, ultra sound, smaller barrels..etc
even straight up lab grown.
molecular whiskey
This is the most radical approach, sidestepping the barrel-aging process entirely by using science to reverse-engineer spirits.
Endless West (Glyph Whiskey): This company uses analytical chemistry to identify the specific flavor and aroma molecules in traditional whiskies. They then source those molecules from natural sources, such as plants, to reconstruct the flavor profile in a lab, producing spirits without barrel aging
if it tastes great and is cheaper, idc if it's fake.

So I think Ardbeg Corryvreckan and Laphroaig Cask Strength are the best peated Isle of Islay scotch. What are the best sherry scotch? Glendronach and Bunnhabhain?

And at what time of the day do you drink scotch? Is 18:00 late enough? Or do you have a better time of day?

Depends when your villainous expository speech is scheduled for, I suppose.
