My Bourbon journey is over.
I have settled in on Scotch style whisky.
The Yamazaki 12 Year Old. I love it.

My wife works in a fancy Japanese restaurant and she got me the bottle (which is gone). She said the Japanese customers love it. She also brought me home a sample of the Yamazaki 18 year old. I saw a bottle of it in a Providence RI store and it was $200. It really packs a punch. Drinking it is an experience. I think an experienced Scotch drinker would like the 18 better, but the 12 suits me perfectly.

Japanese Scotch Whiskey..... Blasphemy! I better try some...
Does this stuff have that potting soil smell to it? I just can't get past that with most Scotches that I've had. Can't stand it. Probably a good thing for my checking account.

You mean that stuff that gives a good scotch its flavour? I don't much like it either.

I believe that is 'peat'. Some have more than others...

Yamazaki 18: peaty. Yamazaki 12: not peaty.
Everyone who wants to try some, come to my house. My wife is getting me two bottles of the 12.

Yah, "peat"... Can't stand it and I feel like I'm drinking mossy dirt.. I can't stand some of the "smoky" Scotches either.

I had some Johnny Walker (gold?) 18 year old blended whisky today. I liked it. I do not enjoy the red and the black is way too smokey for me. The 18 is smooth, tastes good, still smokey but well under control. I will be returning to drink more. It was just sitting lonely on my friend's shelf.
