I have always liked whiskey and before I knew better I used to drink stuff like Johnnie Walker or Balantines. They are like Bud beer: not particularly good, but they belong to big companies and are supported by huge advertising budgets, so they are the easy choice. But when I moved back to Europe 8 years ago, I found myself spending a lot of time in airports in connection with many business trips. And most of the airports which I frequent have a good whiskey selection in their tax free shops, or even a dedicated whiskey shop (there is a chain called Whiskey World or something like that). So I bought my first bottle of Lagavulin and was hooked on the stuff. Like fine wine, it has its own specific character, it is certainly not for everyone, but I love it. Over time, I have tried many other single malts, and usually have 4-5 different ones in the house, but Lagavulin remains my favorite.
