Nice. I have had the regular Laphroig before. It's a p[eat bomb. I believe Laphroig is also an Islay distillery like Bruichladich. There are only 9 distilleries on Islay.
Oh man, you have no idea! She takes care of me. I will post up a pic of the birthday cake she made me in another thread soon. She made me a pipe cake. On topic again, what do you think about Johhny Walker Black? I've been told that it is good but that the red is not as good.
Johnny Walker red is the standardversion. It is a blended scotch and, frankly, is not really to my liking. I think it is more for people who use scotch as a mixer rather than who drink it straight. Black label is ok - it is an aged version (12 years I think) and is certainly much smoother than red label.
JW makes a host of other different scotches. The best JW is blue label. It is absolutely outstanding and clearly the best of the line. It's also around $200 or more, so its a special treat for sure.

Drank some Laphroig 17yr old I believe last night, big shot with a pipe full of Nitecap, members here had guided me to that brand, thank you all. The old cajun :worship:
Bradley - laphroig is some good stuff. I would suggest you find some Bruichladich to try as well. They make several different blends and all are stellar. If you like peat, they also make the peatiest scotch in the world - the legendary octomore

I love a good Scottish whisky. The favorite would be just about anything from Cadenhead's. I've only gotten one bottle from there when my mother-in-law brought it back for me. For a nice, inexpensive whisky, I'll usually reach for Glenlivet 12, Glenlivet 15 or Balvenie Doublewood.
On a side note, you can keep the peat bombs. If you like them, great. The one time I tried Quarter Cask it nearly ruined me. Love smoke, not peat.

Single malts are a favorite - we've got a local pub that stocks an amazing number, and I've been checking them off in my copy of Michael Jackson's "Malt Whiskey" (not the one-glove guy, the beer expert...).
Perennial favorite is Laphroaig. In current rotation we've got Ancnoc, Jameson's, Lagavulin, and the dregs of a bottle of Dalmore.

I am perhaps more partial to Irish whiskey than to Scotch. And I probably know more about bourbon than i do about Scotch.
But I certainly can enjoy a glass of Glenmorangie, Aerblour, Glenlivet or The Balnvenie.
Had a glass of The Balvenie 15 year single barrel last weekend. I have to admit -- that is good hootch.
