Has anybody tried the Finlaggan OR? It's a house brand whisky from Trader Joes' and it tastes drat close to good Islay younger aged batches. There's a bit of speculation that it's a younger Lagavulin. To be honest I could care less where TJ's is getting it from, as it's quite good if a little rough on the tail end. But it beats out all other scotch in terms of money/value. Try it, its <$20 a 750 and it'll smoke your socks off.

Hmm the last time I had Finlaggan was over a year ago so I can't give an accurate tasting comparison. Any recommendations for good Islay whiskys with more complex flavor profiles? I typically prefer rye bourbon because of the varied flavors it brings to the table, so I'd prefer an Islay with a more varied or atypical profile.
