When living in Paris it was any quatre etoiles, caf calva, or mort subite (red wine mixed with pastis). The digestion went to hell. Now it's coffee or water. -- Michael mhphillips at gmail dot com

I have a whisky only occasionally, but Lagavulin is one of the few that I find delicous. (I had a very nice Bushmills (Irish, sorry) once, but I can't remember /which/, so now I always end up getting the wrong one.) What others would you recommend for someone who likes that? Laphroaig?
