Joe, Janet is just having you on. It's a habit in which the Scots take great
delight, having honed it to a fine art by long practice on the English. Let me
re-peat here what I said in another thread :

Isle of Jura "Superstition" has just the proper, somewhat subdued level of
PEATY TASTE; although if I'm feeling particularly robust - and affluent - I
might splurge on a glass of Laphroaig, which absolutely reeks of the stuff.
