I went through that phase. Between marriages lived with another guy and we took a bottle most nights.

Now, I favour a good Islay single malt. Won't splurge on the best.

Great Great Great Great Grandfather Spence was the distiller at the closed Lossit Distilary (Ballygrant after he left), married the exice man's daughter a Storrie. That's Mom's side.

The place was owned by a MacNeil, related oddly enough to my current wife of 25 years who's family was also from Islay and Colonsay, only found that out about 8 years ago. Spence is really MacDonald anyways.

Now I like Bruichladdich, but that's pricey. Talisker if yer feeling tough, lots of iodine and peat.
