Ryan, say it with me:  La-froyg.  There ya go.   
 
You guys got some good scotch sent to ya!  Mind you, Lagavulin 12 is pretty common stuff, but it's also damn good stuff!  As for the Laphroaig, that's Quarter Cask...damn fine stuff.  You guys ARE correct in that they are Islay (pronounced eye-la) whiskys, so they do have a smoky flavor. 
 
You can talk to Tony, as he's a scotch man.  He'll teach you how to drink that shit all proper-like.

They still make Livewire? Bottlers in the bay area haven't made that in years.

Some pretty good whisky there; My Dad has a collection of various whisky's from around the world which he drinks very rarely which includes both the bottles you got. Islay is very smokey indeed. And Jeff: Whisky is meant to be drunk very, very slowly.

I am in disbelief.  Those are my two favorite scotches right there, BOTH OF THEM! Though Lagavulin is the better of the two by far.  The Islay region is not for the feint of heart, but it's the best around if you can handle it.

Why did they get rid of the White Out? I actually liked that stuff. But then again I've never had Squirt.

Watching Ryan pour those foam peanuts into the empty box reminds me of the time I tried to pour foam peanuts into the garbage at the post office so I didn't need to bring them home and the wind picked up.... FUCKING EVERYWHERE.

I agree. At 30, your benge drinking tends to take a nose dive. I can do a few shots, but I'll be done for the night. Also, I wish I had a web site and got the awesome free stuff you guys pull in.

Whiteout reminded me of squirt mixed with regular mountiain Dew, so I tried mixing squirt with regular mountain dew, and I was right, it tasted exactly the same.

 Jeff "No! Gimme that!
Ryan "You gonna drink this now?"
Jeff "I'm drinking it!!"
Ryan "...You should at lease let it get cold. I hate watching you drink warm soda." 
Jeff "Cuz I'm thirsty. So thirsty"
Ryan  "It's bad for you and bad for the soda "
Jeff "I'm dehydrating over here"
 
Ryan and Jeff. Like an old married couple.

Anything described as "having an ashy taste" is generally not something that should be produced.

Whiteout won the Dewmocracy thing so you can still buy it. It's their new flavor to go alongside Voltage.

Don't tell him. He probably feels so special thinking that he is the only one drinkin that.
