I would agree that Talisker is more peppery, and the other two more medicinal, iodiney, none are what I would call very salty, although Laphroaig has a touch of sea breeze in it. Old Ardbeg (several hundred euros a bottle now) is not the same as new Ardbeg, of which there are many versions now available. -- Dnc

Not /all/ whiskey is peat-free: the Connemara is peated: http://www.whiskymag.com/whisky/brand/connemara/whisky282.html -- Pip, the "Mechanical Nightmare" (tm Bonwick Major) |
