Redhawk, I'm sure there's a market for it, but I like my flavors a little more nuanced. I'll bet you're the kind of guy that purposefully burns his roasted marshmallows too, aren't you? 
HEY!!!! Them's fightin' words... I roast a mean marshmallow. Golden brown, baby, golden brown--and melty soft all the way through the middle, but nice and crispy on the outside, and GOLDEN.

Winetarelli, being an Ardbeg fan, have you tried the 'Renaissance' yet ? Very curious about that new bottling.
I haven't had the Renaissance. Is that wedged between the 10 ad 17 in price? The 17 I drank a lot in Scotland and some in England, but I've seen in only once in the States.

The Renaissance costs about 20 percent more than the usual Ardbeg Ten. Since it is a Cask Strength at 55,9 Degree, the price can be considered identical.

ditto ... the Bowmore is a bit too marine-like for me ... the Lagavulin, however, is a whole lot of wonderful! Not for everyone, I know, but I bet every Scotch drinker who also enjoys a heavily hopped IPA would absolutely love it.
Laphroig 15 is also good, but a bit rougher than the Lagavulin.
Outside of Islay, I prefer the aforementioned Talisker, Highland Park and Cragganmore.
 Who/What is IPA ? Wikipedia says 'International Phonetic Alphabet', but i guess that's not what you meant
