When I did, I liked Lamb's Navy Rum ... and drank it a lot. Probably too much.
For high-brow, I was particularly partial to Laphroaig. Other peaty, yes, but Laphroaig was a clear favourite and a clear favourite of Scotch whiskies. Smoother, I also enjoyed Suntori Hakushu very much. When asked, I'd say I drank those.
Not massive on gin (being a crappy was of ruining good clear spirit) but vodka ... yes. Stoly and Absolut. Finlandia at a push. From the freezer.
