I have to agree with Daniel's sentiments (below). I thought that Lagavulin neat tasted pretty much like melted styrofoam smells. I didn't get the appeal/reputation. But while at an amateur astronomer acquaintances I had the same stuff with a splash of distilled water. WOW what a difference! I'm no scotch expert, by any means, but I enjoy the Macallen 15-year straight, but it is a completely different beast than the peaty north coast scotches.
