I was thinking of @puppylove_sugarsteel on Sat night sipping on some Laphroaig 10 yr. No there wasn't any Copenhagen in my lower lip and it wasn't 18 yr, but still...
Few years back I would have said Highlands or Speyside, but my palate has shifted heavily towards Islay lately.
This happens in a session for me. I don't think I've ever started an evening too peaty but often end up there. If I'm only having 2-3 usually hang in the highlands/speyside
I love Islay scotch, but it's difficult to drink with food. The peat dominates the palate. Highlands on the other hand, I find more balanced. You get the peat but also a more smooth finish. I have yet to find a more balanced scotch than Oban 14.
I will add, drinking Lowland scotch is like drinking piss.
Never drink scotch on the rocks or with an ice ball. It shows you're a novice, and likely a gigantic wuss. If the scotch is too strong, just give it literally a single drop or two of water. It changes the entire makeup of your pour.

I don't like to add water, unless it's over 90 proof.

Me neither, but it's a better alternative for people that do.
