I have not gin with ginger ale. I usual mix it with some kind of Schweppes, like Russchian, Lemon fusion or Tonic, and some freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Ooh, I can't say I'm a fan of single malts but Lagavulin and Bowmore are definitely whiskeys that go down far too easily at parties/celebrations.  ;-)

Haven't tried the other two... Though I see Ardbeg is from the same Isle of Islay also...

I've been rumored to be a prolific darts player, for 5 minutes during the Ballmer Peak. :P

Ardbeg is kind a like Lagavulin, Highland Park is completely different, try it, especially the 18j!
I'm going to try out the 2 you mentioned.
