I had a delectable treat last night -- Lagavulin 16 year Scotch whisky and Penn Cove oysters. The smoky, iodine flavors of the Lagavulin were perfect with the rich, salty, sweet oysters.
Simply fantastic.

Jane, I love Oban. As you say, it's a sweet, light scotch. I'd love to try it with oysters. It would be very different from the Lagavulin

I just found out I'm allergic to oysters!
Otherwise, news of your culinary encounter made me very happy....for you.
