I got a bottole of Octomore 5.1 as a Christmas gift. It is less smokey than most of the Islay single malts I've tied, but the peat is way over the top. But I like it - a lot. It seems nicely ballanced even with all that peat.

So anyone know anything about the Buichladdich distillery? I had not heard of them until recently, but they seem to have an interesting line-up of whiskies.
