If you don't like campfires, smoking cigars, spiced apple cobbler, or whisky, then stay away from Lagavulin 16yr!"

That's it! Everyone loves this stuff, but I'm done. Too much smoke. I tasted smoke in my mouth in the morning after a thorough brush and Glenlivet 18. I'll stick to my Balvenie 21 - thank you. And yes, I don't smoke cigars and I like campfires that I can walk away from. I love whisky - but not this variety.
BTW-What are the other "smoky" scotches so I know what to avoid?
