Islays are VERY smoky. Especially that Laphroig! lol
I like highland single malts for the most part.

Laphroaig, yes... and Lagavulin! Lagavulin was the first really peaty Scotch I tried. I found the flavor fascinating, but figured I'd like one that is not quite that overpowering. This year I tried Cragganmore 12, and find it to be about the perfect balance. Plenty of peat... I'd say "medium"... but not enough to overpower all the other good flavors it has.
I'm getting one of those sample packs tomorrow. Going to really do the taste test. I know it's an acquired skill, but I am determined to see if I can tell a difference right off the bat. Not going to add water, but I did consider it.
A little water can break up some of the harshness for those "uninitiated". Don't discount the value.
And pass along my deepest regards to your B.O.B.

B.O.B. has been burning the candle on both ends.
This I know... to my great dismay.
It is unfair, uncalled-for and unwise. It should change.
Well, I just got back from Durant. The 1st place I stopped at was Durant Discount Liqour, that may not have been the exact name, but it was something Discount Liquor, off Main Street near Hwy 69. So I pulled up in front of it in the pickup truck and parked exactly right in front of a gun buster sign.
That's about as original as giving money for birthday presents!
I have drank The Bird for years. I'm ok with leftover Macallan for the low price. I have started several new scotch drinkers on it. The Reserve is good, and there is also a Black.
