I tried a wide range of single malts before I finally broke down and purchased a bottle of Laphroaig. It's the best Islay I've had, although, I do like McClelland's Islay almost as much, and find that it's a better casual whisky than Laphroaig. I don't mean just the price, but the overall presentation as well.
Laphroaig does have a stong presentation when I take a sip and it's almost too much to take in at once. I don't have to think as hard when I drink McClelland's. Don't know if that makes sense, but take it for what it's worth.
