World's best whisky?

I'd have to say Laphroaig 15 yr is my favorite Islay, though both Ardbeg & Lagavulin are exceptionally good, too.

When I want something more subtle, not so bold, yet with great nose, flavor & finish, a Cragganmore 12 yr is always welcome.

Slainte Mhath!

Laphroaig. I haven't gotten around to the Lagavulin, yet, but you can be sure I will.

As for Irish whiskey, I haven't yet found one that doesn't taste like soggy cardboard. No flavour to them.

Having tried Laphroaig once, it doesn't compare to Lagavulin (in my very humble and amateurish opinion!).

You may never go back.

If I'm buying my own, I buy Laphroaig. I tried Balvenie 12 yr double wood. It was ok, but not as good as Laphroaig.

That will put a smile on David's face.

Oh, no doubt. I just haven't gotten to it yet.

Oban
Laphroaig 15
Ardbeg
Glenfiddich 15 Solera (highly underrated in my opinion)
Longmorn 15 (a hidden treasure try it as soon as possible)

Whisky like any other drink all depends on what suits ones palate, some can't handle the real peaty malts while others don't care for the Speysides. It all depends on the drinker.

Very true. I've been trying as many different types as I can and so far, I pretty much like them all!

So am I to summize that the proper ratio is?

1 oz of whisky to 4 oz of Coca-Cola

Being from Atlanta I would humbly submit that you NEVER mix Coca Cola with Sipping Whisky of any kind...an abysmal abomination for both. Whether the finest Whiskey for sipping...Jack Daniels 80 or Scoth Whisky...LAPHROAIG. NEVER EVER add Coca Cola .........PLEASE!!!!!!
Just the simplest, tiniest spot of spring water will do well for both
