But if I'm buying for home I always buy the Llaphraoig. Now here in the UK alcohol, even if it is made in the UK, is about twice the price anywhere else in Europe - so my 15 year Llaphraoig is nearly 30GBP. Some of the stuff I tried in Scotland is way over my means! BTW always drank the whiskey with a guiness chaser!
