Isle of Sky...Doh!
Anyway @Glanur2. The lagavulin 16 is a fantastic recommendation from Ralfy, but I would like to add that I've been rather let down by the last few bottles from them over this last year. It's still very very good, but its lacking the musty salt air quality that I loved for the last 3 years. Please try it for yourself as it's still near the very top of my list. Personally, It's missing the smell of the musty/wet raincoat locker I grew up with, but it's still a fantastic malt.

@ralfystuff thanks!
I have once tried a Caol Ila 18 yo which was actually the best thing I have ever tasted due to its intense smoky character...do you know another single malt which shares this awesome qualities? I really adore this deep, smoky, aromatic properties of Caol Ila in general.

Hi ralfy, can you tell me the difference between malt marks and blend marks, is blend just more lenient? thanks in advance

@saitake12
as malts and blends are essentially different spirits, they need clear separation for marks so as not to confuse between the two.

After watching this review, I bought a bottle of Caol Ila natural cask strength 61.6% and absolutely LOVED it. It is now my favorite whisky. Ralfy, could you recommend another single malt for a person who likes this sort of whisky?

Aberlour A'bunadh is well worth a try.
