yeah...might try that a couple of friends of mine are bartenders..
it just that alot of the bars around here dont have alot of the rare stuff...just usual bar blends and whatnot.. I think Ill get some Glenlivet, Glenmorangie and maybe try the Langavulin 16 you both mentioned...thanks for the tips...

Jon's right - this could get long (and interesting)
I agree about the Islay malts, definitely an acquired taste. Ardbeg, Bruichladdich, Lagavillin, Laphroaig, Bowmore.... Marvellous, peaty and grand for a winter fireside dram.
If (and when) you get to Islay, stay at the <a href="http://www.lochsidehotel.co.uk" target="_new">Lochside Hotel</a> in Port Ellen. They have a malt whisky collection that will stun you. (ha ha)
My suggestion ($0.02) concurs with others here. Find a friendly (and educated) bartender, and sip your way across the shelves.
A fine and easy drinking recommendation of mine is Highland Park from the Orkneys. Mellow, smooth, and not as heavy or harsh as some of the other highland ones.
Enjoy!

Ho ho. Bad man! She wasn't an Iberia air hostess by any chance?
There was a young girl from Spain,
Who only liked it "now and again".
NOW, and again,
and again and again,
and again and again and again.

Re: "nansaidh" as in "Nancy"?
that would be me! 
and to say a *whole* lot more in the Gaelic I'd have to find my Dwelly's (dictionary) and grammar books which are packed away as well as being 310 miles from me at present. hehehe
however, I could ask how you are with:
Ciamar a tha thu?
or if I knew you (a lot) better say "I love you" with:
Tha gradh agam ort.
and then "goodnight" with:
Oidhche mhath.
Nansaidh Ghobhainn

Nope, British Caledonian of course :-)
"Hey lass - I just can't keep my eyes
Off your *** and your honey-brown thighs",
Said a Scotsman called Mac
As he lay on his back
With a caber of mountainous size.
She gasped at the way he was built,
But his caber erupted and spilt
Prematurely. "You ***!"
Said the wee Scottish lass,
"Now there's porridge all over my kilt."
