I do not recall seeing Laphroaig here (Australia) - I'll have to have a 
look. On the other hand I don't think it matters how many whiskeys are 
produced - being a person who finds the US produced beers available in 
Australia abominable, though numerous, I prefer the rarer, but better 
(but so much more expensive :( :( ;( ) Belgian beers, of Trappist origin. 
Irish whiskey is (in Melbourne, I have found) a lot better than 
Scotch of a similar price. (usually)

Yes but... One should always applaud an improvement on a good idea.
