I really like Laphroaig, but it's definitely an acquired taste. It's like eating moss so most people don't enjoy their first taste and many don't come back for a second.


My nephew-in-law's groom cake (at his wedding) was in the shape of a Laphroaig bottle. The whisky always struck me as like drinking diluted roofing tar.


Moss? Peat smoke, certainly. There’s a hint of it even in the drinking water if you ever stay on Islay.


Bruichladdich Islay Barley, while being an nonpeated Islay, is the best deal in all of whisky.
