OK so with all the talk of Ardbeg I wanted to find that, but could not. I ended up getting a bottle of Laphroaig (how do you pronounce that?) 10 year old. It is quite good, but as Scotch mentioned, it is a bit over the top. It tastes like I am drinking a campfire, which is not necessarily a bad thing. I think my next bottle I would like to be similar to this, but just a bit less smokey. What would be a goot bottle based on that description?
At the risk of being repetitive, try the Dalwhinnie. Even die hard Islay enthusiasts agree it's excellent Scotch, at least in my experience. You at least owe yourself a sip or two! (Where's the drunk smiley?)
