Hahahaha - gauze bandages, antiseptic lotion

Typical Laphroaig flavor profiles on the nose, yes.

Ardbeg and Lagavulin have more barbecue meat flavors...baconkips etc.

Part of why I like both plus Bruichladdich, but not Laph.

On a related note, Laphroaig Quarter Cask on sale at Takealot at R649, but you need to make sure you select the correct Quarter Cask, the other is R979 currently

I've been trying to figure that out too...but at that price, not any of the Middleton brands I'm sure. There is a lot of cheap Irish still around....

How does it taste?

I'm sorry but at that price, nothing really good can be in that bottle...

 

[ands45]

True

This on the other hand....deeeeelicious!!!

Moved on to something I haven't tasted since opening the bottle a year ago. Nice, balanced entry level peat with some sherry in the background.

Not a daily driver, but very enjoyable.

Order in for one if these, really enjoy the Bernie Moss

Rachel Barrie seems to be blending towards the sweeter side which I'm quite liking. The standard 10 y/old and peated 10 y/old much better than it's previous incarnation. Looking forward to getting both new 12 y/old releases.
