Exactly what StephenSa said. Lagavulin is hands down my favourite. It rich hearty peaty smokiness is astounding. You could just take the cork out, and let it sit on the table, and you could enjoy the aroma from across the room!
Even though many posts here have disrespected the blends, I understand that the craft that goes into creating a high quality blend takes the enjoyment of them into pure connaisseurship. I haven't had the money to buy a JW BLUE or GOLD, or even to buy it by the glass in a pub. But don't become a Single Malt snob, before you give the premium blends a chance...
