Friends of Laphroaig

I honestly can't say whether I like it or not yet. I bought a bottle and am saving it for my Burns supper on the 28th. Got my certificate just the other day, plot number 524665.

I've had mine for awhile.

I've been a friend for a fair while, but a fan for much longer.

Had my plot since 2009 and have recommended Laphroaig to many others. Always a good go to bottle. Looking forward to making a visit to the distillery one of these days.

I didn't even realise you could do this. In my excitement at getting on to the main business at hand (inserting straw to bottle!) I must have completely overlooked the leaflet... over the years... hundreds of times...

Really like Laphroaig when I want the whole peat bog. May need to use it up so that I can get a new one and my plot. My gotos, in order, are Old Fettercairn 10y, then the replacement (almost) - Fettercairn 1824 12y, Talisker 10 and Highland Park 12y. I have 22 different singles and a large map of Scotland mounted on a board. Come on over, I'll put them on the map and we will do a sampling tour. Been a while since I did this one but it's great fun and educational.

I've only just recently started to appreciate whisky (beyond doing shots of Jamieson in bars in my 20's), but Laphroaig 18 yr. has quickly become my favorite.

It may be that my limited palette, being weened on the "Glens" of the scotch world, can't help but not have the overwhelming sense that I am smelling and tasting a 'band aid' when I try Laphroaig 10 year old. Perhaps the 18 is better?

Although I like it, the smell reminds me of a freshly creosoted telephone pole.
