i found a long lost miniature in the back of the cupboard, fek knows where it came from so i gave it a sample. nice to start with but ends up leaving a nasty after taste like most whisky does (well to me anyway). mind you its not anywhere near as bad as Laphroaig that stuff is naaaassstttyyyyy, even my whisky drinking friends wont drink that stuff.

There's been a bottle of Laphroaig sat on the floor next to my chair for the last 10 days. There's about 1/5th of the bottle left. Though my wife has complained on a nightly basis about the pungent smell in the living room (the whisky not me).

Laphroaig has the same after-taste of parsons nose and trust me you dont want to be eating that. how anyone can enjoy drinking that is beyond me. suppose each to their own and all that.

Bit too peaty for my taste. I've never eaten soil and thanks to Laphroaig I never have to.

Finish a glass of Laphroaig and wait for the glass to dry, then go back and nose the glass, you smell the peat smoke as clear as a freshly lit cigar. Whisky is all about the experience, the smells and the vapour as well as the taste, what comes out of it at different stages, and Laphroaig is one of the richest malts. Iike smoking cigars, it's an aquired taste for many people, but it is one well worth persevering with.

received a bottle of Lagavoulin for my 50th and loved it, then bought a bottle of Laphroaig. Loved the Lagavoulin but the laphroaig was my favourite. Had a bottle of both for my 51st to confirm. Lagavoulin all the way. Going to try Bowmore this Christmas

+1 on the Laphroaig. I know so many people who've bought a bottle but then decided they don't like it. Shame it didn't get passed to me!

It's all about the peated malts for me, Ardbeg, Laphroaig, Lagavulin but then again I won't turn my nose up at a speyside or a local tipple like Auchentoshan or Glengoyne.
