Interestingly an early script for the third Indiana Jones film has the story beginning at a Scottish castle, where Indy is investigating a series of murders by a ghost. (The film ended up as Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.)

We have a monthly Whisky Club at the local Scottish Pub in my hometown. Nobody ever complains when a Glenmorangie is included, and some of them are quite good, but there seems to be a consensus that the discontinued 10-year-old was better than the 12 that replaced it.
I, too, prefer peatier drams (and we’re supposed to have an all-Laphroaig tasting soon, and we have had an all-Ardbeg tasting), but there is a place for sweeter expressions, and some in the club prefer them. I joke that I would like to make a crawling tour of Islay one day, but others prefer Highland or Speyside whisky.

I generally prefer more peat as well, but every dram has its place. I sometimes joke that Glenmorangie is my breakfast whisky .

I don't mind a "peaty note", but those that go out of their way to taste like rancid gym socks... no thank you. You can have the "peat monsters".

I have not had Glenmorangie in a long time. I'm glad I know how to pronounce it now. 
I like the Islay peat monsters myself. Lagavulin and Ardbeg are my favorites. But a smooth whisky is very enjoyable too. Cragganmore is my favorite in that department.
I'm sure there are more exotic and expensive brands out there, but those are commonly available, and not too obscenely priced. But I only break them out for friends and family. I stick to the cheap blends otherwise.
I have always marvelled that "high end" blends exist. Why would anybody who's spending over $100 for one bottle not go with a single malt ?
