Nope, I'm a novice when it comes to Scotch. I can wax eloquent on wine

and beer (or at least pretend even if I don't know what I'm talking

about) but I know comparatively little about Scotch.

I do like Lagavulin and Laphroaig even better. These tend to be on the

expensive side but I like them.

But I...ahem...have been known to drink a Glenmorangie 12 year Portwood

(ducking...LOL!)
