Fun Scottish fact Glen Garioch is pronounced Glen Geery, because letters.

Or: cigars, sweaty socks, shoe polish, leather, old man smell, used coffee, pencil shavings, paint thinner, burnt licorice, ass, motor oil

Favourited for extensive research

This this the first thing I've favorited in a long while.

But what about Glengoolie??
underdog493
Thank you @op I have been looking for something similar to glelivet and didn't know where to start
GyroPunk
Is it weird I got slightly proud my home whiskey was on here
DystopianReality
Excellent f&f post, OP. Thanks!
UsuallySpecial
This would be slightly useful if it specified which 'expression' of each distillery they're showing. 10yo? 15? 18? Named ones? Daft.
djzapz
I think it does a reasonable job of describing the general character of the distillery's standard releases, at least for the major ones.

Lagavulin must be like licking the inside of a fire pit.
se7enblessings
Lagavulin is a nectar of the gods. Love the balance of flavors. Don't let the smokey and peaty nature worry you.

Source or version w more pixels would be nice

Not sure where it was originally from. I found it on pinterest a couple years ago.

Conundrum. I want to get drunk, but hate the burning alcohol taste. What do?
perhapsthisusernameisnottakenyet
How does this chart give a correct overivew of different single malts from the same distillery? I mean, I've got two Mortlach at home 1/
perhapsthisusernameisnottakenyet
right now and I can tell you, they don't taste the same AT ALL. How does this chart take it into account? Actually curious, not trolling 2/2
nafun
They all taste like flaming turpentine. But they smell delightful. Kind of like gasoline.
LooseyGooseyBrett
Tastes like burning

"Tobacco" shouldn't have bothered to even show up for judging, apparently.
lucasman30
Does anyone know if there's a chart like this but with beer instead?
rhadamant
Got a bottle of Speyside next to me. There needs to be a section for 'Tastes like shit'. Love Talisker and Glenfiddich though.
strugglesnuggler
Where's the: "It burns cause I'm a bitch flavor?"

Where does fireball sit on this scale, asking for a friend
PerfectlyNormalHumanCitizen
Right next to "Formaldehyde"

I like you.

I live near Glen Garioch (pronounced gee-reeh)! There's a rehab centre round the corner funnily enough
m053486
Checked to see if any made interesting shapes, was disappointed.
AllWeAreIsDustinNguyen
What's "body" flavor? I mean there's a big difference between a lady's neck and a dude's foot

How do you know?

Not if your blender works properly.

Both are acceptable. The Scots spell it whisky and the Irish spell it whiskey
AdingoAtemibabi
No shit. These are all scotch, numbnuts.
Lukedyy
Haha, numbnuts.
polkadotmonkey
What would peaty be called? Like when you sip and it tastes like eating peat and dirt on a moor?
TCTom
I think for this, it's medicinal.
jdh2b
I call Peaty an asshole...he would steal my lunch money in 4th grade.
spencedt
Lagavulin and Ardbeg both are great in this category. I've personally enjoyed both, but would say I prefer Lagavulin.
polkadotmonkey
Now I know what to pick up for hubby and avoid for myself. He already has Lagavulin, maybe try Ardbeg next.
spencedt
Comes in a little lighter on the wallet to!
kickapoojoyjuice
We used to call that ashtray scotch'
Slashenaar
Peat is partly decomposed plant matter used as fuel to dry/smoke the malt in the malting process. So it is that 'smokey' flavor.

fudgesickle
Thank you!
LOlivingVE
That or licking charcoal
perhapsthisusernameisnottakenyet
Welcome to Arberg then! That's how it tastes.
MaltyMugwump
Depends on the type of peat. There's iodine rich peat (medicinal) and clean peat (smokey, like a bonfire of burning leaves).
andrewtater
Can I buy this as a poster for my dad for Christmas?
apexwarrior
I demand to see the chart on peat.
polkadotmonkey
Hubby likes the strong peat. I don't. I can use this chart to try to finally find a scotch I can stomach.
MaltyMugwump
Glad to help
Backtakesnake
Lophroiag comes to mind.
fudgesickle
Yep, very peaty. Love it!
DystopianReality
It's technically referred to as, "Laphroaig." (Also, according to this chart, smoky/body/medicinal.)
polkadotmonkey
Hubby always tries to kiss me after drinking Lagavulin or Laphroaig. I am not a fan of the smoke or medicinal, apparently.
Wastyvez
What? Laphroaig is just one of 8 distelleries in Islay, a region that is notorious for its heavily peated whiskies.
Alexagon
Laphroaig is very smoky, but not terribly peaty. If you have the chance, compare it to Lagavulin. The latter is extremely peaty.
Akatosh118
I add Laphroaig to my Bolognese and it's better than imagination.
ISayFuckAllTheTime
What's Bolognese?
PhightinFirez
This list is incomplete. Where is fireball?
MaltyMugwump
Fireball isn't whisky since it's below 40% abv. It's a whisky based liqueur.
CrystalFier
That's funny, cause the bottle says Cinnamon Whiskey.

So...yea, it's a whiskey.
