Lagavulin is out of reach for me these days - I think it is way too expensive - so my daily intake is a dram, or two, of Bushmills, the basic one. It's Northern Irish, so sorry, but this is a friendly, "smooth and mellow" blend (of single malts, though) one may drink any time of the day. Sl?inte Mhaith!

Its peatiness warmed the cockles of my cold heart, but I far prefer the smoother taste of Irish whiskey which I think is the best whiskey in the world. Sorry Scotland, but we Irish do the important things right :-) When I finish the antibiotics, I'll be opening a bottle of 12 year old Jameson Redbreast to celebrate.
