Thanks for steering me over here from the lounge, ElD. I think you have it pretty well covered. Lagavulin, Macallan (12 and cask... two of my favs), and Laphroaig are all excellent recomendations. Under the Irish Whiskeys, do not neglect Midleton (AMAZING) and Tyrconnell. Personally, I find Jameson to be pretty bad(as in hard-to-swallow bad). It works good for Irish Coffees and other mixed drinks, but that's about it IMHO.
