Hello all! Getting ready for a Halloween party and having a whisky. What whisky do you think does with Halloween? In name or character!

One easy answer is any bottle with 'Black' in its' title!! Black Bush, Jim Beam Black, Bowmore Black, etc. Another for its' name would be Compass Box Peat Monster.

@Pudge72 has another brainstorm - no pun intended - from my collection...Bowmore Tempest!

As for character/flavour profile, maybe a dram with a licorice profile (I only remember reading this note on various reviews of different bottles...I can't remember any specific bottlings). Any whisky with a 'smoky' profile would also work...my personal recommendatin would be Lagavulin 16 on this front.

Jim Beam's Devil's Cut (and there are many who would call it diabolical), and Death's Door unaged white wheat whiskey. Maybe a little Fighting Cock for the voodoo altar...

Being a big Islay fan and halloween fan, I have to say Bruichladdich Octomore. It's a beast of a peated malt and in a black bottle, just kinda gets me in the spirit of things hallowed.

I agree with @two-bit-cowboy, most Juras have names befitting a spooky all hallow's eve.

Bruichladdich Octomore... Ardbeg Supernova... peat and smoke I feel very appropriate for Halloween, even sherried peat, like Lagavulin 16 or Uigeadaill. And Peat Monster... I mean, c'mon, it has Monster in the name...

I also agree with Victor. Devil's Cut and Death's Door (I haven't tried)... those names are perfect.
