I like those choices, Iain.

Have you tried the new version of the Lagavulin 21?

I'd go Redbreast 21 and Laphroaig 30

Haven't tried the new version - it's about 6 times the price of what I paid for the old one.

I did just find an unopened bottle of the old Lagavulin 21 in my filing cabinet in work that I'd completely forgotten about.

Laphroaig 30 is a great choice too - what strength?

Great choices men. I nearly changed my mind but I'd go with

Jameson 15 pure pot still

Booker Noe's. I may need a little water on the island to cut with the Bookers.

The one I had was 43%. Bought a few in the US for next to nothing. Great stuff.
