I love Lagavulin, and you’re exactly right. The smoky nose is a feature you’ll love or hate. I love it; lots hate it.
Ummmmmm, I am the keeper of the Red Dwarf ping list. Would you like to be on it?
Yes, please..

“As an ex-submarine sailor, we used to drink everclear - no contest”
LOL, I was wondering if there were any old diesel boat sailors on this thread. We used to drink “Gilly” the 190 proof alcohol used to fuel the MK 16 torpedo. We mixed it with powdered grapefruit juice and water. One of the old stainless steel pitchers of that mixture would get about 10 of us sloppy drunk!

I would not reccommend doing so while smoking, though.
True tale of the early Sixties:
Broken down pick up. Way outside of Barstow. In July.
Only liquid available for about three hours was
(A) in the radiator,
(B) 151 Bacardi.
Didn't try drinking from (A) and didn't succeed in swallowing from (B).
PS: To all - am I the only Balvenie fan in FR?
Sounds delightful! Everclear is not available here in the People's Republic of Washington either, but I've seen it in nearby states such as Wyoming.
It's great to see this old thread being given new life....so far we've got whiskey fans, whiskey detractors, Everclear aficionados, chemists as well as the beloved Red Dwarf smegheads making an appearance.
Merry Christmas to All :-)
Sadly, I'm not seeing it shown among the current offerings at the Bruickladdich site, and even if it was I'm guessing that it would be difficult for a private individual to order it from the USA, given the various unfriendly laws pertaining to the private shipment and importation of liquor.

However, it seems that the nice folks there are willing and available to answer questions from the public, so you might be pleasantly surprised.

Just pour the “pure” stuff in one of those burned oaken barrels and wait...
Agreed - the guy's a bit of a lightweight, or more likely, is exaggerating for effect. We used to "drink" (if that's the word for it) more Everclear in college than the supposed "lethal" quantity of whiskey, and with no more ill effect than waking up inverted and fully dressed in the shower. Or in bed with - well, let's not go there. On other occasions, I've had some high-octane moonshine in West Virginia that produced rather odd effects similar to those commonly associated with absinthe.
These days, I stick to more refined beverages, and for the same reason most of us do: I have a job and a family and can't afford to have my picture in the paper for being arrested while dancing and howling on the Village Green at 3am with a bunch of naked cheerleaders. And what fun might that be?

Double Coyote Ugly, you then chew off the other arm in case she goes looking for a one-armed man...

My apologies, I was in error.

The worlds most alcoholic single malt ever made has been revived by the ancient tradition of quadruple distilled single malt.
More than 300 years ago the legendary traveller Martin Martin recorded his impressions after encountering a similar whisky on his visit to the Hebrides in 1695.
In his travel book, The Western Islands of Scotland, Martin refers to a quadruple distilled whisky known as usquebaugh-baul - the Gaelic for perilous whisky (thanks to Pat Mcgregor for the translation) and wrote what is probably the
worlds oldest whisky tasting note:
" the first taste affects all the members of the body: two spoonfuls of this last liquor is a sufficient dose; and if any man should exceed this, it would presently stop his breath, and endanger his life.
