I've been on a Jaja kick lately. Has more of a peppery bite up front but I'm liking this as a less expensive option that's easy to find, rather than having to find old batches of Casamigos

Don't jack around with that buddy! I too have to monitor my intake with Kidney flair ups. I always drink in moderation and usually have some water on hand to alternate with. And I take Tart Cherry and Cranberry supps that def help! Have you considered a Liver supplement? Something with Milk Thistle? I've read very good things about it.

I have been taking this. 1-2 drinks a day and liver is in good state from the latest report.

For the scotch you want something from the Islay area as those are the smoky/peaty ones. For smoky and hot I would recommend the Laphroig Cash Strength or Quarter Cask Cask Strength as those have a little punch to them along with the peat.

Those are two favorites of mine, for sure; I haven't bought a bottle of plain 10yo Laphroaig since I discovered the cask strength. The regular Quarter Cask is also very nice, especially for the price (the only cask strength QC that I know of is the 'brown' 2017 Cairdeas bottling, still on the shelves here). Lagavulin 16 is the king of the Isla's, but a bit softer and more rounded, same for the 15/18yo's from Laphroaig; you may like the 8yo Lagavulin as much, being a bit 'hotter' and young, and about half the cost. Also try the Bruichladdich heavily peated versions (Port Charlotte is a current fav) and Ardbeg, especially the Corryreckan. Anything "non-chill-filtered" will be an improvement in flavor, that will be listed someplace on the package but not always emphasized. There are also port- or sherry-finished versions of Ardbeg and Laphroaig if you like that effect. And FWIW I see a LOT of price variability across state lines, so if you are near a border go online and check; I usually save $6-10 a bottle in VT or CT on the Ardbeg and Laphroaig - haven't actually FILLED my trunk, but I do buy by the case so I'm on a very friendly basis with the owner of the little package store I shop at.

Definitely a love-it-or-hate-it thing. I hear that during prohibition they could get Laproaig in thru customs by telling them it was medical supplies, and not fit to drink.

It grows on you, I didn't like peaty stuff for the first few years after I started into whiskey but I have grown an appreciation for them. There are a few now I really like, but probably nothing in my top 10 still.

Oban 14 is quite delicious though. Some red breast cask strength, drift less Glen rye cask strength and a JD gentleman's Jack Pew edition.

Thank you for the recommendation.
The 14 Caribbean cask is very tasty. I also got the 15 Sherry cask and it is also a very good scotch. Saw a Red Beast 21 selling for $229. Has anyone tried that? |

I can usually get Caribbean cask around $50 but the lowest I have seen the sherry cask is ~$130
