Honestly, unless he specifically states he loves a smokey, peaty scotch, I would stay away from Lagavulin. It’s like drinking scotch from a full ashtray! If you want it, it’s “got it”, but it’s far too strong a flavor for many to enjoy. The other scotch’s you posted are all excellent. I’m a casual scotch drinker but have managed to accumulate some 20 bottles in my current collection. I don’t think I’d buy the Lagavulin again, it’s for hardcore scotch lovers, only - lol!

Here I thought I was exercising considerable restraint by not recommending Laphroig! And if you want to know what drinking from an ashtray is about, try Loch Dhu. I had the misfortune of buying a bottle once - it will never happen again!
