Because of the whole whiskey thing I'm drinking it right now. (And actually I don't like it, but I wanted a stiff drink and it's the only thing we have...)
Anyways it tasts softer than other whiskies I've tried before. A bit fiery in the mouth when you sip though. P. had Lagavulin first. That was the first whisky I tasted, with a distinguished peat (tourbe) and smokey taste, yes you're right about the earth! I'm drinking Oban now, which I seem to like more, because it has a softer taste. But its taste is still very strong.
(P. knows too much of this. He's telling me what to write.)
Have never tried Irish whiskey (no the e isn't a typing mistake -- whiskey is solely used for the Irish stuff). It has less the peat taste, because the grain is dried in the air and not above a fire like the Scottish whiskies. There. Too much info already.
