Message: [QUOTE="storrsroars, post: 2988924, member: 2500"] Never tried any Laphroaig other than standard issue, which I don't like. Compared to Lagavulin 16, which I love and always have on hand, I've found the Laphroaig to be "medicine-y", probably the heavy iodine notes. Also get a flavor like burnt microwave popcorn. Just not enjoyable for me compared to other Islays. I've been looking for something on par or better than Laga for 25 years, but no scotch has topped it for my palate. My issue is that here in PA, Lagavulin 16 is $92. Would love to find something less expensive that's as enjoyable. Laphroaig Quarter Cask 96 proof is only $60, so if that's more quaffable than the 10, I'd spend the money. But I can't really get a sense of whether I'd like it from[URL='https://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/laphroaig-quarter-cask-whisky/'] these reviews, which are all over the map.[/URL] Also, anyone try Ardberg Uigeadail? Never had it, but sounds intriguing. [/QUOTE]
