Recommendation for a stronger, peaty whisky?

[Tleilaxu]

Hello,

I have been looking for a 'stronger' whisky. I am fairly new to whiskies and think I prefer more peaty whiskies (e.g. islay), but I find whisky such as Glenfiddich too thin and dull. It's like drinking sherry.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a stronger, perhaps peaty whisky that is fairly readily available? I was thinking about trying lots of whiskies, but asking seems to be a bit of a shorter, cheaper option!

(I am a student, so <£45 a bottle is preferable...)

Thanks!

If you are looking for a heavily peated whisky then i would recommend Ardbeg 10, Laphroaig Quarter Cask, Lagavulin 16 all 3 will be within your budget and all 3 are outstanding examples of peaty whisky, enjoy

There is also the Laphroaig 10 year old.

Not an Islay whisky but i am sure you would enjoy the Talisker 10 year old

I would go for Bowmore 12. Now, that's peaty!

Thanks all!

I have picked up a bottle of Laphroaig Quarter Cask and two taster bottles of Ardbeg 10 and Lagavulin 16.

Looking forward to tasting them with a film tonight.

(First final exam out of the way...)
