I'm still mourning the lack of easy accessible single malt Japanese scotches, though. When my chemo's done, I just may spring for one of the really crazy expensive remaining bottles.

I am partial to Jura. Won a free trip there and had the factory for a private tasting. Some of my favorites were the least peaty.
