Subject: RE: BS: Oh yes Mcallum Scotch
If you prefer Laphroaig, you are indeed a connoisseur. Try Talisker too. It's slightly less assertively iodine-peaty than Laphroaig but it has a an irresistible sweetness and a lovely peppery finish. Twenty or more years ago The Macallan 10-year-old was a sort of benchmark for me, but these days they're confusing me with all their different styles. I have to stick with what I like as I can't afford thirty-quid experiments. The Balvenie Doublewood is a beaut if you see it on offer anywhere.
