I don't know if scotch strictly belongs on this net but I can't think of a
better place and, as a scotch fancier I'm glad to see some discussion of
the subject. A couple of single malts (is there any other kind worth
drinking:-)) that I like that are worth mentioning are Tallisker and
Arberlour Glenlivet. Tallisker has nice peaty flavor but not nearly as
heavy as Laphroaig. I find it a bit smoother and more complex as well but
I haven't run across any 15 year old Laphroaig. Arberlour Glenlivet (not
The Glenlivet, it comes in a short square bottle) is lighter but has a
lot more character than a lot of mild scotches. If you ever get to Minn-
eapolis, check out Surdyk's liquor store for an outstanding selection of
single malts at very reasonable prices. Unfortunately, St. Louis has
nothing comparable, sob.
