The taste, the strength, the feeling, it’s perfect. My favorite before EC private barrels was Russell’s reserve SiB.

I like Islays, myself, so Lagavulin or Laphroaig. Next, Balvenie 12y. Next, honestly Jack Daniels regular black label: inexpensive and smooth. Some of the High Deserts are nice, but I haven't had anything else that really stands out.

I finished a bottle of Whistlepig red label about a month ago; I don't care for Whistlepig, but it was recommended. It was proof to me that price isn't correlated to how much I'll like something.
