Islay whisky

Our murder mystery/scotch tasting centered on Islay single malts.  The murder mystery game was a delightful Murder at the Distillery.  This game required ten participants and was great fun.  The peaty, smokey, phenolic whisky samplings were:  Ardbeg Uigeadail, Ardbeg 10 year old, Lagavulin, Laphroaig 15 year old, Laphroaig quarter cask, and Bowmore.  Everyone's taste buds are still recuperating but we all agree that Port Ellen needs to continue its maltings to support these exciting distilleries.  I do recommend that when choosing an aged Laphroaig, go for the 18 year old.
