No, I never tried japanese whiskies so far. Which japanese whisky can you recommend?

Both, the Lagavulin 16 and the Laphroaig 10 are great whiskies for the lovers of peat smoke. A few minutes ago I posted some information about the Jura Superstition. It is not so "heavily smoked" like the islay malts but I like it very much. Maybe you can give it a try ;-)
