Hey Beowulf67,
I suppose every good thread needs its token dissenter.

I've tried Laphraoig on several occasions, and I really made an honest effort to give it a fair shake. Nonetheless, I can't stand this stuff. It tastes terribly medicine-like to me. I get no pleasure from it.

To each his own. No doubt there's plenty of drinkers who'd gladly pass on my favorite malts. It's a blessing that there are so many from which to choose.

Slainte yall,
steve
