I recently decided to start tasting single malt scotch and, after some research, bought a Glenlivet 12 yo and enjoyed it.

The Glenlivet 12 yo was what you could call on the fruity floral side of tastes and for my second I was looking for something different.

I decided I wanted to try a scotch with a peaty taste and therefore started looking into the Islay region. I am limited by the local availability of single malt scotch.

The three I have chosen as 'finalists':
Highland Park 12 yo
Bunnahabain 12 yo
Laphroaig 10 yo

I am looking for some guidance here and was wondering if anyone had a preference or could help me make a final decision.

If there is another suggestion below I have listed the other single malt scotch that is available to me. Older malts from each distillery are available but out of my current price range.
