The smokey (peaty) flavour is characteristic of the Islay malts like Laphroig (one of my favourite all-rounders) or Lagavulin. The Summerhill store has tastings (they've got a little bar in the back) so you can try a couple to find one that you really like. There's not a lot of Islay malts (that are affordable for me) so it may be worth it. Theres a Bruichladdich that's being discontinued (two bottles left at Summerhill) that I've been thinking of getting. Or you could get it and feed it to us!
