I've searched the archives of this ng, but got lost... I am looking for a peaty (and if possible: Smokey) blend which is for sale in the Netherlands too and won't cost as much as a single malt...

Thank you all. I've bought 'Black Bottle' to start with, and allthough I taste more sweetness than with the single-malts... It's already the best blend I've tasted in my life.
Thanks a lot,
Michel
