Been there, done those and the Bowmore 10, 12 and 17 year old. It just get smoother as you go. Highland Park is good, a bit like the Talisker 10 yr.
I have several samplers of the Glenrothes and the Ardbeg special editions. Came in gift packs. Glenrothes is one of the few distillers that do vintage whiskies, ie single barrel selected from one year. Been through from 1992 to 2004 so far, have to wait for the rest to be released.

Dunedin in the South Island is purported to be the most Scottish City outside of Scotland. There is a restaurant there that has over 300 single malts plus about the same in blends. They also sell kilts . .. I've spent a couple of evenings there just testing\tasting. Got talking to some fellow from somewhere and we bounced off each others recommendations..
Funny, can't remember his name though ... wonder why ?

We have a 3 litre water jar in the spare fridge, sealed lid. Loses it's 'piped' taint, almost like Branch water to drink.
