Convince 'em that it's awful & you'll take it all off their hands for 1/4 price

Me too Trefor, I have 3 plots and I plan on collecting one of these days.

What's up with that? Are they inheritances?

Or did somebody buy swampland in Scotland?

Nope, you register at the Laphroaig website, prove purchase and they give you a plot and a certificate.

Best drop I've ever tasted, with Ardbeg a very close second.
I plan to collect my "ground rent" next year.

Both are in my top 5.

I do miss the 10 year. I have a bottle of the quarter cask, but I just didn't enjoy it as much as the 10 year.

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
