Travis. Have you ever tasted Lagavulin? As one expert described it A much sought-after single malt with the massive peat-smoke that's typical of southern Islay. I used to drink Scotch & Soda but when I was in Scotland many years ago, I had the feeling that if I ordered it with soda, the pub keeper would have thrown me out! The only civilized way was to drink it was straight or with pure water. I only drink a little red wine now.
