I'm a big fan of the Islay single malts, which are heavily on the "peaty" side. Laphroaig is a great one that's easily available; it's like diving head-first into a peat bog. I have a bottle of Bruichladdich 3D "The Peat Proposal" that I haven't yet opened (see picture below). Of course, I don't limit myself to the Islays. I like to broaden my horizons.
I also am an enthusiast of single-malt Irish whiskeys. Most of the ones I prefer are never sold in the United States, so I have to purchase them on trips to Ireland. One of my favorites is Lockes. I just finished off my last bottle of 8-year-old Lockes last night, as a matter of fact, so now I guess I have to make a trip overseas to replenish my stock.
