 I really enjoy having a bottle of scotch on hand, and I think that the ones I enjoy the most have very strong, distinct flavors. I liked the smokey flavors out of Nikka whisky, and I thought that the really peaty flavor of Laphroig was enjoyable. Any other recommendations for powerful, specific flavors?

Going out to a restaurant with a pretty extensive whiskey menu tonight for my birthday. Prices are on the high side, but is there anything I should consider treating myself to a pour of? I lean towards ryes and sweeter/spicier bourbons, but mostly just looking for an excuse to try something I wouldn't otherwise.

Here's a page from their menu for reference:


Ha, I live not too far from there. Appreciate the selection, but the copy on their menus if pretty cringeworthy

 I have a friend going to Japan soon, what whisky should I ask him to pick up for me that's good and not readily available in the US?

 I was lucky enough to get a bottle of Yoichi Single Malt recently and have really been enjoying it. I dig the smokiness of Nikka's stuff, but I don't know what other distilleries have a similar taste/process, what's something I could get stateside that would scratch that itch?
