I forgot to mention that those who like Laphoaig (and I do) can go to their web page, www.lahproaig.com, and become a Friend of Laphroaig. For this, you get a square foot of land (swampy, of course) on Islay that allows you to collect rent whenever you visit the distillery during your lifetime. Normally, the rent is a dram, but when I collected last year they had ran out of those small bottles so instead was treated with a 500ml bottle.

I hate to venture into the realm where there is a chance of being labeled a 'spell-check Nazi' , but due to a VERY slight typo there is a chance that fellow aficionados of the Water of Life may be momentarily misled.  I refer to your spelling of Laphroaig in the URL, which includes an errant "h".  Future Friends of Laphroaig may wish to head towards

Laphroaig - the maker of the World's favourite Islay single malt scotch whisky.

in order to provide support for our Scottish Friends and to enhance their own bookmark lists   :-)

Another vote for Laphroaig here.

My hubby is a Friend - we haven't visited our square foot yet (but I'm sure it's damp).

The 10 year old is my favorite Scotch - like it better than the older bottlings. My husband prefers Lagavulin, I can't understand that, it tastes like paint thinner to me.
