Steve, you're overlooking Michael's especially good taste.  On the bottom row, 
he shows a bottle of Talisker.  Since you appreciate Laphroaig, you would 
undoubtedly find Talisker, from the Isle of Skye, highly appealing.  It's my 
only "staple" SMS.  It's sort of like Walnut or English Oak: Once you've 
worked with it and discovered its advantages, you won't really want to go back 
to the usual stuff.

OT content:  it's mashed and distilled the old-fashioned way and aged in oaken 
barrels.  A wee dram -- and no more -- makes planing very enjoyable.
