A friend of mine loves Delamain Vesper, but it is pricey. Sorry that I can't be of more assistance. I don't care for the brandys.

Some of the finest brandy on Earth is made here in California: Germain-Robin. Their Craft Method Brandy, aka Fine Alambic Brandy, is about $43 for 750 ml; their XO Brandy is about $100. Look up the reviews, I'm truly not kidding -- if Churchill were alive, I wouldn't hesitate to serve him this.

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.

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...
