1
Ardbeg 10
the benchmark. campfire and lemon zest, still my go to when someone says they don't like whisky.
2
Laphroaig 10
love it or hate it and there's no middle setting. medicinal in the good way.
3
Laphroaig Quarter Cask
4
Kilchoman Machir Bay
young distillery, tastes like it grew up on the farm it's on. (cask strength) bottlings exist too but this standard one is the better value.
5
Bowmore 12
6
Talisker 10
coastal more than peaty honestly, the pepper finish is the real signature.
7
Ledaig 10
Tobermory's peated line, gets slept on constantly. probably the most underpriced bottle on this list.
8
Benromach Peat Smoke
9
Compass Box Peat Monster
blend not single malt so purists will complain, i don't care, it's good and it's cheap.
