Still Spirits Whiskey Profile Kit recipes

I'm new to the forum but I've been brewing for some time. I brew with sugar and turbo yeasts and produce a white spirit at average 90%. All my equipment was made personally. My white spirt is very clean and very sweet, I have no disfavours as all the fumerols are removed. My spirit is used to produce beautiful sipping whiskeys, etc.
I have the Still Spirits Whiskey Profile Kit and found the recipes are not the same as their namesakes as they are "of the style". I have refined the Laphroaig recipe and I have several other recipes which are not in the book. I would be interested in contact with anyone else who has tinkered in this field and has recipes to trade.
I have a a recipe for Jamesons Signature Reserve (a really beautiful whiskey on ice or with soda), I can do a Talikser and McDonald Highland.
Would be very interested in Ardberg, Caol Ila, Lagavulin, Glenlivet, etc.

G'day LP,
Sorry of no help to you, but have a very similar interest to yours, making Whisky!

I'm not so much into Laphproaig or such smokies, but am exploring how k can get to making my own.

Would you mind if I were to send you a PM so as Not to hi-jack his post?
Cheers
Elmar

Here's a whisky for you.

An all grain wash from medium and heavy peated malt with smoked malt.

Distilled on a still dragon setup.

Aged for 18 months (so far) on American oak.

No worries at all Barls.

OG 1.076
FG 1.002

40% Bairds medium peated distilling malt
40% Best Smoked malt
20% Bairds heavy distilling malt

Overnight mash starting at 65C. 30 min boil.

Yeast was a whiskey yeast I can't recall the name of but it does get the FG right down.

I age it on split oak dominoes at 65% abv and water it down in the glass to 40% (ish).
