  Have you tried the 15?  It's a bit different than the others.

  More like scotch w/ a nice note of peat..

  As opposed to some peat dug up that someone splashed a little scotch

  Ohh, now you're talking - committed to memory and in your
  honor now known as "The Ashburne Method" ;)

  (I used to use a chilled glass (pita) and a small splash of
   DDI water since I always have it around)
