I would strongly recommend Lagavulin too. Its a great mix of peaty and sweet without being very peaty (like, say, Ardberg).

Depending on where you are in the US, you can get a bottle of Lagavulin for $60-$75 bucks as well.

Should you go this route, I'd recommend staying away from the distiller's edition of Lagavulin - I never warmed up to it.
