Ah (says he, light dawning). But you should check out Bruichladdich Rocks, as John suggests, Jeff. Similar to Waves it gives you the Islay character without the seaweed.
How did you do re-pronouncing Glen Garioch? That's another one most have trouble with.
Must try the Bruichladdich Rocks sometime, although in my case "neat". Thanks for the suggestion. Like the sweet rather than the peat.
I actually got more than 90% of them right the first time, although I admit the dominant accent syllable is often not intuitive. Glen Garioch I got right, but who in their right mind would expect to pronounce Craigellachie cray-GELL-uh-kee?
As I understand it, part of the appeal to younger folks in the design of BR is the word "Rocks", suggesting drinking it on the rocks - kind of like they drink Capt. Morgan's, but without the Coke and vanilla.
I'm not suggesting that it can't/shouldn't be drunk neat. I'll have to try that next time. Maybe I'll prefer it that way, too.
I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.
