Smoke Head or Sherry Bomb?

Currently enjoying Laphraoig Quarter Cask (very moderately priced) and Lagavulin 16 year...But I've also got some Macallan, 12 and 18, and I'm saving a bottle of 30 year old Aberlour for a very special occasion, whatever it might be. I guess that makes me a Smoke Bomb

I go for both depending on my taste that day though lean more towards sherry and wines casked Scotch. I have a 25 y/o Talisker that hits the perfect smoke balance, but alas I could only get a bottle of it....

I would lean towards the Smoke Head as my favorite Scotch (of those I've tried) is Laphroaig. I have a bottle of Laphroaig 10 and 18 right now.

As a subset of this discussion, it is curious to me that many audiophiles might think nothing of spending thousands on weirdo tweaks of dubious origin, yet balk at the price of say, 18 year vs 10 years old whiskey.

Or have some of you also spent thousands on booze?

I am not a big whiskey drinker, but I have tried Glenlivet 12 and Glenlivet French Oak. I did not like the French Oak at all, which makes me more of a smoke head?

Regards,

I like both, leaning slightly to the sherried varieties. As much as I like the Lagavulin, I can't stand the Laphraoig, tastes like iodine to me. To each his own.
