OT:
Actually many of my favourites are Islays - I just don't like peat in beer (still enjoy smoke in beer, just not peat smoke).
+1 for the Lagavulin, I dont like laphroig and thought all Islay was the same, Caol Ila is more subtle as a Islay malt but the Lagavulin was lovely.
Its my present to myself for Christmas. Wrong weather but stuff it.
If anyones into woodys try Auchentoshan Three Wood. My local dans always seems to have a three 50ml auchentoshan sampler pack for $22 under the counter and the three wood is full of dark fruit characters. lovely.
Back to Original Post I dont have any issue with Adjuncts in the right purpose. I dont really see the point of bumping the alcohol just for alcohol, ie sugar to take my beglian from 6% to 7.5%. If it adds flavour or complexity then thats another matter. On the other hand some beers require adjunct to make lighter styles like a asian rice lager. its horses for courses.
