The first time I tried Laphroaig or Lagavulin 16 I thought they were horrible and medicinal, tasting of TCP. Yet after a small period of enjoying other single malts, especially a lot of Talisker,...

Hi MK,

If you liked the Bowmore 15, try the Bowmore 12 YO Enigma, which is a sherry finish Scotch and incredibly smooth.
I would also recommend Caol Ila 12 YO, which is a beautiful smokey dram. ...

Plus there is a 15% auction fee, as well as 17.5% TAX, and then finally shipping to add. Once you figure that into the equation they start to look VERY expensive.

Another vote for the Ardbeg. I have the Uigeadail and it is a very smoky dram indeed, but with a nice sherry edge. Even though it's a sherry finished cask strength malt, the sweetness is more on the...

ALL Laphroaig is wonderful. I have a couple of single cask bottles, which are 10 and 11 years old, and both bottled at 56+% ABV. Both are delicious, and I have not yet sampled a bad dram from them. ...
