Favorite Islays

 Just a short post to list my top 10 favorite Islays and 10 best value Islays.  

Let's start with my the best value Islays, or those with the highest Score to Cost ratio, i.e. the most bang for the buck.  The score is on a true 0-100 scale and more details can be found here: Rankings.  The cost is the cheapest I can find it, either where I live in Austria or where my family lives in the U.S.
