When I lived in Japan I sampled a lot of Nikka and Suntory whiskys.  They
were very drinkable.

From the description of the winner, I do not think it to be comparable to
Lagavulin, as they said it had a slight taste of peat.  I demand a Scotch
that is heavily peated and is "iodiney".  Just my personal taste.  I hope
that only a few would agree with me, so as to not increase the demand.
Islay whiskys are expensive enough as it is.
