Get you a Durango SRT like my wife’s… faster, fully loaded, rides like your on air, and gets 22-24 mpg average.

I've been trying to figure out what kind of Whisky I want to buy when I go to Scotland in Aug. I am going to do some tastings, hope I can nail down a region or type I like. Any input???
Those have a nice growl
Especially in sport mode. At full throttle it sounds like it gonna suck the air filter down thru the engine.
I don't know what mode the one I heard the other day was in but it sounded pretty healthy

First thing is to decide if you like the peaty style or not so peaty style. Try some Islay Here and that would be a good reference check? Kind of exploring your tolerance for the peat. Easiest way to explain, if it smells like a high school locker room that is peaty!
I like the Highlands Scotch. The Lowlands uses Peat Moss to dry the grain during the malting process. It gives it that burnt rubber smell and taste. Peated Scotch is not popular with everyone.
I think I will keep it basic, do I like "smokey" "peaty" etc. and go from there. Not sure how much I can send back, just don't want to pass on something that is hard to get stateside.
Ok thanks, I read that the overall flavor changes and follows the regons with the Highlands being the largest region. I should do some pre-work lol!
Ok, drink from one end to the other lol!
Taste Your Way Through the Scotch Whisky Regions
Can you taste a whisky's region of origin? These bottles support—and refute—that idea.

Thanks for that interesting descriptions. I read somewhere that what they age it in can vary by region, dunno.
Let me know if there's a rare/unavail brand that you like and I'll keep an eye out. Think I might have "Secret Santa'd" you a bottle from Whidbey Island years ago, should probably try to redeem myself lol!! Ya know that famous Whidbey Island distillery lol!
Sorry, but Merica says Kentucky Bourbon or Tennessee Moonshine only please
I like me a good Islay
No help on the spirits taste as I don’t drink. Should be able to get a pump at tractor supply big r type of places.

Spey side is another good non pauly taste, I had to leave Pete out per his request so went with Paul!
Knappogue Castle Single Malt 12 Year Old ???
I'll look that up, thanks Wolfie! There's another "metric", how old of a Scotch.
I've been told I'm Scottish or Irish but I'm not sure which. Probably don't remember. Too many spirits??
Ya, and there's also some French in me as well...Thar ya go Karl.....
I'm not a fan of peated Scotch. One thing good about our whisky (proper spelling for Scotch and Irish) tasting group, I got a chance to try it without wasting money on a bottle. Peat tases like a Harbor Freight store smells. That Chinese rubber tire smell. Not for me!

Like she said. It's an acquired taste.I'm not a fan of peated Scotch.
