Hi jwise,
Our whisky palates are on the opposite ends of the spectrum. The Islay malts I prefer are more in the style of Bruichladdich and Bunnahabhain. These are usually more gentle Islays. (Although some of the recent offerings from both distilleries have a much peatier profile).
I have a 30 Yr Old Bunnahabhain from Signatory, which I have been sipping slowly over the past year. A beautiful malt with a Lavender Meadow nose and only a whisper of peat smoke. Not daily dram, more of a monthly dram. But it is the Islay I am enjoying the most.
