During a longish wait at Heathrow, I spent most of it browsing The World of Scotch [or some such name], a single-malt outlet larger than the entire liquor store in my home town. Passing on the ten thousand pound 1935 stuff, I finally bought a bottle of Irish!* [my daughter, a box nut, liked the casket!]. Great thread, good reminders! A yes to those peaty|iodiney Laphroigs, etc. And yes the Highland Park is a very good value, at least at our government-run liquor stores (manitoba, canada). Have to agree with Steve S. about the array of "styles".
The Middleton's was pretty good, but, after all, it's Irish!
cheers keep on pickin' Dennis
