Any Why?

For example...I think Ardbeg 10 is about the best thing to drink there is, but it's pricey. An argument can be made that "Finlaggan" is tops (it's a brand name from Trader Joe's) which has a similar peatyness, but is about 1/4 the cost.

McCallan and Dalwhinnie seem to be the ones I offer to people most that they are gushy about.

Atomictonytiki sort of talked me into bringing Scapa to a Scotchtasting, and it was the item which was most clammored for of any malts there.

What is your opinion of this?

I really like McCallan's... it's wonderful. I'm a speyside guy. Highland is pretty good too. You can have the Islays.

I'll have to find the source of my (mis?) information about the Balvenie. It truly is good scotch - tastes great! less filling! But there is some marketing trickery going on there.
