Hi all, hope you're all having a nice day.
So, first of all, I have the palate of an 8-year-old. I am terrible with nuance, but haven't really taken the time to develop it either. That said, my very limited experience with wine has been reds because I rely on the big and bold flavours, whereas most white wine to me just tastes like 'white wine'. At least with reds I can tell there are differences, albeit not necessarily being able to place why.
It's no surprise then that I like peated whisky. I love the taste, the smokiness is unavoidable and I feel that characteristic alone is enough for me to enjoy without getting into the nitty-gritty 'brine' or 'marine' notes or whatever others find in certain whiskies of that type.
I'm looking for something that has that similar bold, unavoidable flavour profile that I can enjoy even without getting every minute detail out of it, even though I would like to develop my palate because wine fascinates me.
Any recommendations sincerely appreciated, preferably below £30 a bottle.
Thanks!
