What's in a Name? Single Malts with Catchy Names

[Quaich1]

I was reading some material on the LBCO site and noticed a catchy name of a beer, called Beard of Zeus. This triggered some thoughts about some of the unusual and catchy names of single malts, some which many folks have never hear of. What are some of the catchy or unusual names of single malts that you are aware of ?

Here's a few I have come across, one of which I actually have:

Arran The Sleeping Warrior

Devil's punch Bowl Chapter No. 1

Laphroaig Beach Bonfires

Isle of Jura Mountain of Sound

Dr. Jekyll"s Laphroaig

I think the undisputed kings of the catchy and not so catchy names are the SMWS as they name each and every one of their bottles, some wonderful, some stupid and some outright strange, one of the past ones was Whisky flavoured condoms!!

SMWS have come up with some crackers over the years, many of which have been accurately descriptive athough i cant comment on your example albo even if i had tasted the whisky.

Went to my local micro brewery on Saturday and they had 'Mad Ass' which was a dark ale made with Naga chillies and Capscium. I was curious. It certainly lived up to its name!

I've always liked the name of Big Peat. Bit like Ronseal.
