No problem man, I take my bourbon seriously. I guess I’m a bit of a pansy when it comes to Scotch though seeing as I mainly stick to the highlands. The smokey/peaty stuff just doesn’t do it for me.

Which smokey/peaty Scotch have you tried?

I've been reading a lot about Laphroiag 10 and I'm thinking I need to try it but darn it's expensive around here.

All of the Islays are going to give you some smoke, to some amount or other. At least in my experience. Bowmore is very good, Auchentoshen has slightly more bite - I've been to the distillery for these and took the tour - incredible! Lagavulin and Laphroig are both pretty smoky, I'm not a fan of the smoke, either.

I like the Highland malts for the most part. I'm really a fan of sherry-finished single malts. Port finishes are great, as well. Last night I ended up having a few glasses of my precious Balvenie Portwood - but only because I should have 4 more bottles from my stash in the islands delivered sometime in the next week or so.

Laphroiag is actually THE Scotch I was thinking of when I typed that comment. Blech!!!! That said, I have a couple of buddies that love the stuff. It all comes down to what you like.
