    Glad to be of service, I honestly never thought I'd be able to offer information on tea to anyone from the UK...let me know how you like the result.

    Let's see, I've had Glenkinchie, Highland Park, and the MacCallen. Glenkinchie was a surprise for me since I thought it was too light when I first got it, but it grew on me and I began to pick out more nuances in it. Highland Park and MacCallen were both delicious malty-sweet scotches with a little bit of smoke to it. I'm currently trying to track down Isle of Jura and the Laphroaig. I've heard the Laphroaig is pretty intense .

    I opened a bottle of Isle of Jura last night. My impression was that it was just ok. It was decent enough, but a little light on the smoke for my tastes. To me, it resembled Dalwhinnie but less smooth. I'll give it another try in a few minutes...

    So here is my Single Malt Adventure so far
    Dalwinnie 15 - Least favorite so far taste OK did not not enjoy the bouquet
    Oban 14 - Enjoyed it but coming in 3rd
    Macallan 15 - Yep now were talking
    Macallan 18 - Had my first glass tonight and going out for a bottle tomorrow this is one great drink. wonderful bouquet, great deal going on in flavour and all so smooth.
    Well thats the order so far with those thoughts what should I try next.

    All of them.
    There are so many different flavors, and you won't know if you like them until you try.

    I am using that excuse with the wife and razors. I have to try different styles/sizes/grinds/brands so I know what is good and what is not. It is working for now so I am riding the wave.

    So far I failed to come up with convincing arguments...
