Laphroaig. First time I heard a friend ask for this, they said it so slowly I though they were asking for a wine. Sounded like La Ferroyg to my untrained ears.

Don't know that I'm supposed to give the website on this page - I'm sure someone'll come around to tell me off, if not.
LOL,
I am a signed up member and custodian of one square metre of land owned by the distillery! I have a bottle in the cabinet too!
Good for you! Yay! Husband's ears pricked up when I told him about your land ownership.
Our claim to fame - photographs showing us standing outside every one of Islay's distilleries.
Husband's job meant an annual visit to Islay - in February.
