There's a fellow inmate after my own heart.

What bottling of Port Ellen was it? I have a 24 yr old cask strength from Dewar Rattray.

HP 18 is a great whisky, but I haven't had the 25. I bet it's awesome.

It's on my hit list.

My girlfriend got me a bottle for my bday. Superstition is very very good!
It is one of the smoothest Islay's I've had! I'm a huge fan of Lagavulin 16 and love the smoke in it. Superstition isn't as smoky but there is a little hickory smoke in there.

I love this scotch!

I've never heard of this one before....I had to look it up. Where did you get it? The VA ABC doesn't carry it or special order it.

She works part time at a local liquor store and they had it in stock.

I have a bottle at home now. I like it.

BTW it's not an Islay malt, it's from Jura, an Island adjacent to Islay.

Bruichladdie makes some very smooth malts, though most are not as peaty as the rest of the Islay distilleries.

It's not an Islay? I could have sworn I read that it was. Regardless I enjoyed it immensely! It might very well by my favorite now or at least my co-favorite with Lagavulin 16!

Here is my Poison
I also like O'bans

My favorite so far has been Macallan 12 year.

As a newb, I don't yet have a fav, but I like the Bowmore 17 over Glenmorangie 10, and Glenlivet 12 & 18 over Glenfidich 12 & 18

right now I would say the one I am drinking which is Talisker Distillers Edition. Nice and smokey with some peat but not enough to blow yer head off if you know what I mean. I am not sure of the availablity of this model since I got it in SCotalnd at the Glenkinchie distillery. Glenkinchie was too mild for me, nice but too light so I tried this one and bought it. got a nice traditional whisky glass in the bargain and I am not damned of it doesn't improve it. Probably because you really get the aroma first and scent does greatly effect taste. Oh! another thing is I noticed that when I add a very small amount of cold water it really brings out the amoma and flavors. Now I am rambling so I will let you go.

Sounds good to me. Pour up another dram and ramble on.

My Favorite hands down is the Glenmorangie Signet which is just being released right now, we have been about to get a couple of bottles of it at the cigar bar I work at part time. It is awesome but pricey about 200 a bottle to us at the bar.

Lagavulin 16 was my first introduction to the world of peaty Scotches. I loved it from the start.

My lovely wife has a bottle for me for Christmas (I found out by accident), which will complement the bottle of 12 year cask strength (2006) that I picked up for me.

It's going to be a good Christmas indeed.

Lagavulin 16 has got to be one of the best single malts out there!

Agreed. It's my favorite.

I too agree that this is an epic single malt, very good and one of my favorites especially in the winter. If you haven't had Talisker I highly recommend it. Not as peaty but I feel it has a bit more character.

Either way you can't go wrong.

I've had the Talisker. No doubt a good single malt. I do liken Caol Ila to being close to Lagavulin. It is good but missing something that would make it the quality of Lagavulin.

One of the best indeed! I've been favoring Springbank, Glenmorangie Portwood, and Bowmore Darkest recently
