Lagavulin 16. If I'm not in the mood for peat, Glenmorangie Finalta or Sonalta will do just fine.

Ardbeg 10. TracerBullet, you said something about "not in the mood for peat". I am sorry but I do not understand that concept.

Easy, Glenlivet 12 (or 15) everytime. Put the kids to bed at around 7pm - Peace, Quiet, Glenlivet - LOVE IT - Have I just coined a phrase?

Here in the mountains we're having 30+ degree weather and an Arran 10 with a couple of ice cubes (something I never, ever) do, is pure bliss.

@olivier, it is closer to 40 C here in DC the next few days, but despite the heat every kind of whisky still tastes good to me!

When I am relaxing in the backyard with the heat I tend towards Glenfiddich 12yr with a couple of ice cubes, simple and enjoyable. Otherwise I'm an equal opportunity sipper at night and I'll pour whatever suits my fancy that's in the bar.

@olivier in our mountains we're also having 34-degree weather, but I'm talking about Fahrenheit so hold the lice please. It's been Kilchoman Summer 2010 for me of late.

Major heat wave in southern Ontario too. I've been drinking the Glenlivet 1991 Nadurra Triumph lately. I picked the bottle up last week and am down to about half now. I know I probably should be taking my time with it seeing as it's more or less a limited edition, but It's just so nice on a hot day.

I really try to 'spread around the love' (other than my Talisker gift pack, none of my other 12 bottles are more than 1/2 empty), but the ones that I would consume on a more daily basis if logistics/budget allowed me to replenish regularly would be Lagavulin 16 (relegated to 'special' times only due to the price charged in Ontario), Auchentoshan 12 (only held back from frequent re-purchase by the number of other distilleries that I would still like to try, this early in my whisk(e)y journey), and Evan Williams Single Barrel (please bring this to Ontario, LCBO!!).

I really don't have a go-to Whisk(e)y . Unless I am intentionally working to empty a bottle (I do this with most bottles when they are only about 25% full) I seldom have the same pour more than twice in a month.

Old Pulteney 12 has always been my old faithful- but slowly and surely The Balvenie Signature and Doublewood are vying for my attentions. Glen Elgin would be if it was easier to get a hold of....

@Victor. I'll second that. The 17 yr. old is a very nice dram too.

@BlueNote, ...and so is the 21 yo Old Pulteney.

@smokeybarrels

@Victor Yep the OP12 is for me the best VFM single malt out there at the moment, normally available at around £20 over here. Ive tried the 17 year old, which is again excellent but a fair bit more money- how does the 21 year old "stack up" in your opinion?

Victor replied

@smokeybarrels, I have only had samples, not bottles, of both the OP 17 and 21. I found the 21 to be very sophisticated and wonderful. It has the sort of mellowness that people want and expect of a 20+ yo whisky. Pricey, though. My sample of 17 yo was perhaps the most briney whisky I have ever encountered. I like the brine in OP, but that sample was pretty extreme. I would very much like to try it again and compare samples.

@smokeybarrels, also, there is more dimension in both the 17 and 21 yo's compared to the OP12. But, that said, I really love the pleasing simplicity of the Old Pulteney 12. I have introduced a lot of people unfamiliar with whisky in general to a number of whiskies of all types, and have found that OP12 is perhaps the only whisky that I have encountered that is liked by nearly 100% of those to whom I have served it. The prices for it here are similar to yours, and I agree that OP12 is a very good deal for the money.
