I wondered the same myself. I had a friend describe it in uncertain terms, but recommended before I went out and dropped $50 on a bottle that I try it first. Our local Hilton has a nice bar and I tried a dram there. I was impressed. So impressed that I bought a bottle last night.

Questions to those familiar with Laphroiag. Is the flavor consistent, bottle to bottle? I had a taste last night and it wasn't the same as the dram I had on New Years Eve. The dram at the bar had that peaty aroma you could smell as it sat on the table - enchanting. The taste from this bottle had other flavors and aromas and I had to swirl the whiskey to find that aroma. I believe they are both 10 year. Does two more years really change it's character?
