 Laphroaig 10 you suck! I know this is one of Arfcoms darling single malts, but I find it to be rather undrinkable. If I wanted to drink a bottle of liquid smoke I wouldn't have paid single malt prices to do it. Thankfully I got this at the LLS's whiskey sale so I'm not out too much. You guys really steered me wrong on this one. Anyone up for swapping me something on the Sherry side? Perhaps a Glenmorangie 12 Lasanta or Glenfiddich 15? |

The first time I drank it I hated it.
Then I read about why it tastes like that. What it is made of and the process by which it is made. Then I tried it again, expecting it to taste like it does, but understanding why and identifying the different flavors. I enjoyed it. I have a Laphroig 18 open right now in my liquor cabinet. I also have a Glenmorangie, Oban, and a Bowmore. Each are different for different reasons, and each are drank depending on my mood. Sometimes I want a smokey dram with a particular meal, or a mood. |

If you don't like Laphroaig, there is something missing in your makeup. (not that there is anything wrong with that) PS. You evidently missed the overtones of iodine, road tar, and sea salt. I find it to taste of iodine and turpentine. Not my type of Scotch. |
