A bit, though I don't drink much.

Neither do I but I can appreciate having my mouth filled with bog peat on occasion. 😂

Peaty can be so good!

Indeed it can. Do you mix with water or drink it straight?

Usually straight. Why water down the good stuff?

Added water is said to bring out some taste nuances. The taste buds can easily be overwhelmed by the strength of either taste or alcohol strength.

Good thing I can't tell either way... I'm not a golden tongue, so, those kinds of subtleties are lost on me.

Big fan, I like a decent cigar and Côte d’Or dark chocolate with mine. Have you tried Ardbeg?

I may have but it's so far back that I'd be more honest to say no. It's one of the peaty ones, isn't it?

Or Is it rope & tar like Lagavulin?

Definitely peat, it’s Islay, peat, salt, smoke, ocean, and just a hint of sweet without cloying. They’re all good!

Hubby says that's a solid dram. Hubby and his friends all have whiskey collections and their own whiskey club and they sometimes age their own in various barrels. Here's most of hubby's collection. I like a few of the starwards and the Arran Aramone cask the most. But I'm not that into it.

A joy to behold such a whiskey cabinet!
