They are unassuming, pleasant and down the middle, but rather one trick ponies. You might want to consider venturing into a peated Islay and a sherried Speyside like Aberlour 12. You’l get an amazingly greater amount of character from Aberlour that the Glenfiddich. As far as peated Islay malts go, they’re smokey, yes, but not all are smoke bombs. Bowmore and Bunnahabhain are very well behaved and have a lot going on besides smoke, especially Bunnahabhain 12, which is probably my favorite Islay. Beware of Laphroaig and Ardbeg unless you’re in an adventurous mood. I love them personally, but I’ve seen many a man wonder wtf he just put in his mouth :lol:</p></blockquote><p></p>
