Smoke Head or Sherry Bomb?

I would lean towards the Smoke Head as my favorite Scotch (of those I've tried) is Laphroaig. I have a bottle of Laphroaig 10 and 18 right now.

As a subset of this discussion, it is curious to me that many audiophiles might think nothing of spending thousands on weirdo tweaks of dubious origin, yet balk at the price of say, 18 year vs 10 years old whiskey.

Or have some of you also spent thousands on booze?

I am not a big whiskey drinker, but I have tried Glenlivet 12 and Glenlivet French Oak. I did not like the French Oak at all, which makes me more of a smoke head?

Regards,

I like both, leaning slightly to the sherried varieties. As much as I like the Lagavulin, I can't stand the Laphraoig, tastes like iodine to me. To each his own.

Cwlondon I would venture that there are more than a handful of us who like multiple expensive hobbies. How about the wine collectors. As for whisky I never drank it much myself prefering the more than equally ridiculous Cognacs/Armagnacs, but hung with guys that drank/collected unblended single barrel, barrel strength, single vintage Whiskies from long closed distilleries. I need not tell you what some of these rarities cost.

Actually I would be very intrigued to know what some of these rarities cost!

From time to time, I try to spend more money on wine, hoping to find the best point on the value curve.

But so far I find it much less complicated to find and select good audio components than good drinks.
