Got an 18 year old Caol Ila for my birthday 2 years ago. Best single malt ever, but have not been able to find another bottle.

10 and 12 year old but not 18.

Personally I prefer the 12yo over the 18 and it is a bit cheaper, though that is a bonus.

I'd leave the cigar unlit until after you finish your whiskey. A cognac is more traditional partner for a good cigar but personally think that the smoke spoils the flavour of whatever you are drinking and should be enjoyed on it's own, unless your intent is to improve the taste of the smoke.

If you have the money try a Louis XIII de Remy Martin, though personally I prefer their Champagne cognac to the XIII.

This is my regular brandy choice....always a bottle or three in the buna residence.

Pfft. Tennessee Whiskey FTW.

Just be warned that you can expect to drop in the neighborhood of $350 US for a bottle of Louis XIII. Cognac tends to be one of the more expensive liquors.

I like Tulamore Dew. A very smooth Irish Whiskey. More so than Jameson.

For a drunken paralytic he's putting up a damn good fight.

Oops wrong forum.

There is no "wrong forum" when it comes to Das Boot quotes.

I had an u-boot special cocktail at the weekend.
I gave the Islays a chance and tried the 10 year Laphroag. Great taste at the beginning, very smoky and "peaty". But the aftertaste is too much like medical mouthwash for my taste. My friend who drank with me liked it though.
So there's still half a bottle left. Though I doubt it will last long considering my alcoholic friends...

Pretty sure the Uboat special is actual what is called a "Cement Mixer"

Lime or Lemon juice mixed with Cream, Milk (Canned in Das boot's case I believe), or Irish Cream.

A good bartender can layer the 2 in a shot glass without having them mix, and then you have your victim mix it in their mouth. The Juice curdles the Cream and it gets chunky.

For a cigar, try a nice Maduro, as I find the softer and more mellow tones would nicely accent the crisp scotch flavor. A lighter leaf, at least IMO, is sharper and has more bite.

I have on, occasion, used home made brandy (Mom makes it, don't ask, I Dunno, but it is quite good) to dip the tip (unlit end, duh) of my cigars in. Adds a lot of flavor to the smoke, sweetens it up, can make a bitter smoke more pleasurable.

To be honest, it could be really bad Brandy, I've never really tried anything else. Gonna have to follow JB's idea and get some Hennesy.

Thanks for that

That would be the "head" of the cigar. The hot end being - you guessed it - the "foot".
