No contest, ladies: LAPHROAIG
If you haven't heard of it, try it. If you'd tried it and forgotten, forgive yourself, go get a bottle and pour yourself a wee dram.

Just received ANOTHER bottle of LAPHROAIG from Santa. So damn predictable.
Only this time the bugger tricked me: he left the Triple Wood Scotch.
After I finish my Lark Distillery Single Malt I'll give this LAPHROAIG a crack. I know, I'm such a trooper. A good egg. A giver.

Hhhmmmm Santa must have had some form of backroom deal going on with the Laphroaig distributors..........I scored a bottle of Quarter Cask. Also added to the collection thanks to various generous family members; Tomatin 12, Ardbeg Corryvreckan, Ardbeg 10 GIft pack and a Lark Limited Release Cask Strength. I must have been a good boy this year!!
I think Santa might have been just making sure there was something nice for you leave out for him next year
Well [MENTION=2429]Millsy[/MENTION] I lashed out and bought a bottle of the Quarter Cask while away at New years and must say after a couple of months of regular taste testing, that is a seriously nice drop so much so that in the next week or two I'm going to have to find another one
Are you familiar with Ardbeg? If not, I highly recommend it if you like the Laphroig. Same style of islay whiskey, big, smoky, peaty....and tasty!
Oh yeah!!! Last day of work today, I am now officially 'unemployed'! Celebrating with a dram (or 2) of Ardmore 10 and a Coopers Pale Ale. The countdown is on for departure!
Thanks mate. Glad to have turned someone else on to a great Aussie beer! Its one of my faves, plenty of flavour. I like my beers with a nice hoppy punch.
My only fear now is that Little Creatures have been bought by Lion Nathan, they're going to mess with it, like they do with everything else they take over!!
Nice! Very Light in colour a lot smoother than the Laphroaig and even though Ardbeg claims to be the smokiest & Peatiest of all the Islays I think the Laphroaig is smokier, Haven't worked out what a Peaty taste is yet so I might have to drink a bit more of the bottle to study that

Glad you like it! Just read back through the posts and realised you had the Laphroaig Quarter Cask, and I would agree, its bigger and smokier than the Ardbeg 10. If you want something from the Ardbeg family that has a bigger punch, the Uigeadail would be more comparable to the Quarter Cask in its ability to smack you about the chops!
