Ardbeg, Lavagulin, Talister, Bunnahabin, Laphroig, Bruchladdich. Try them all.

I had Ardbeg and really liked it. For $20 McClennand's Islay was pretty peaty and oily.

Glenmorangie is the best bar none and at a reasonable price.

Oban, Macallam. For a mere $600 you can get the Macallam 25 year-old. The single malts have gotten ridicuously expensive. For a blended scoth Famous Grouse is very good and their Black Grouse is nice as well.

Laphroiag 10 yr. is my everyday scotch and Lagavulin 16yr. is my once in a while treat. They are both very heavily peated and very delicious. The Islay whiskys are going to be the most peated.

Lots of good peaty scotches mentioned. Curiositas from BenRomach is really peaty, and "Peat Monster" even though it sounds cheesy is very good scotch.

I second the Laphroaig. The quarter-cask is especially peaty. Like a campfire. The next day.
Also, Scapa is a nice Orkney Islands peaty drink if you can find it.

This covers the peaty Scotch. For an interesting travel into a peated Irish Whiskey try Connemara.

+1 on any Islay, and like many others Laphroaig is my fave.

I wish I knew about alcohol. I don't know Jack other than wine. And only red at that.

I understand that Laphroaig was legal during prohibition apparently because surely no one would consume it for anything but medicinal reasons.

Islay malts are all peaty to one degree or another. Bunnhahabin is very light in the peat,while others can be quite heavily peated.

I am fond of Lagavulin myself. The 16 year old is readily available, and runs about $80 a bottle in my neck to the woods.

I prefer a blended scotch low on the pete scale. Johnnie Walker makes some good blends. Gold is a great scotch IMHO
