Go taste it all decide for yourself

The cask strength port one was pretty good.

I've not tried the 10 but I've tried quite a few Port Charlottes, I just can't connect with them. Bruichladdich, yes I like Bruichladdich enough but Port Charlotte just misses the mark. Longrow Peated is better (and similar), even if the price is absurd now (~R1000).

Lagavulin 16 is still up there with the best of Islay for me but I enjoy a bit of diversity :p.

Ardbeg has personally ruined lagavulin 16 for me.

It was the first whisky I drank that made me realize what the hype was about and after 2 years of trying many others I went back to it as my "first love" and it just didn't live up to what I remember. Doesn't matter though nothing that a good ardbeg Corry won't solve!

Laga 16 was the 2nd ever Whisky I drank after cutting me teeth on Laphroaig 10 and I loved it. But over the last few years it feels like the quality and consistency has waned a lot of the Laga 16.

It also has become overpriced for what you get.

My favorites now are peat aged in redwine barrels...just love that combination of smoke and red wine. And so many great and affordable examples hitting the shelves over the last 2 years.
