I love Bowmore smoked, just got a bottle from Dublin, an Irish peat / smoked, they don't do many smoked whiskies in Ireland but this one is superb, the Mummy to the Daddy of whisky (Bowmore)

Do you not like Ardbeg? The 10 yo is fine, but the Uigeadail is exceptional... easily my favourite whisky.

I like the 16 yo Lagavulin, but at that price you might as well buy the Ardbeg. The double matured quarter cask Laphroig is drinkable, but the rest is TCP imo.

No 1. Bowmore
No 2. Blackpitts


Coming in a long way behind is the Laphroaig

The Laphroag oak select is not a patch on the real thing, the 10 year old Laphroag. The select has hardly any depth. Rather weak flavour, watery. I stay clear of that one mc.

I do.....I love any Islay malt. Apart from the Laphroag oak select. So many distilleries are putting out 'no age' malts now.

Carry on, I'm past caring.

I suspect you don't advertise MOT, maybe I am wrong.
