@Copy Ninja I'm in Oregon taking advantage of the no sales tax stocking up a little. I got another Lagavulin 16, Caol Ila 12 and a Laphroaig 10 to see if it really tastes like a band-aid.
Laphroaig is an 'acquired' taste

Can't go wrong with Lagavulin 16.
Oban 14 is good too. Reasonably priced. Smooth.
Talisker 10 is one of the best value imo. Another smooth drink.

Was just saying the other day I need to buy some more to keep on the bar cart. I don’t necessarily think it’s worth the price point but I do want to continue to support the company. The 1884 was much better than the 1856 to me.
It sounds horrible but I have to try it. I can't wait.Laphroaig is an 'acquired' taste

Heard good things about Talisker. Have you had Highland Park 12 or 18?

The first time I tried Cask Strength Laphroaig 10 I had MAJOR buyer's remorse after the first glass.
After the 2nd glass it was my favorite whisky.
This is the Cask Strength (i.e. Overproof) version I'm talking about. When I first tried it I was already used to the "regular" strength Laphroaig 10.
I gotta my way up to that Cask Strength stuff. Heard that shyt is like drinking fire.The first time I tried Cask Strength Laphroaig 10 I had MAJOR buyer's remorse after the first glass.

Gonna try this Laphroaig in a little bit. People's descriptions of it on Reddit have me
@Copy Ninja @KalKal Laphroaig wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting. Maybe I'm used to scotch enough after drinking Lagavulin 16 that Laphroaig didn't really hit me in a way. Don't get me wrong, it was like somebody put out a cigarette on my tongue and made me wash it down with asphalt. It's straight peat, even the aftertaste but I thought it was pretty solid. It's not fukking with Lagavulin but I'm curious about the other varieties now. In the future I might try out the other ones.

It makes sense Laga 16 is peaty and you enjoy it.
Ardbeg 10 is also peaty and price is reasonable (around $60).
I heard Talisker 18 is preferred drink for people who enjoy peaty scotch but I haven't tried and for $160 I'm not buying on peaty scotch

Just popped my first Four Roses Single Barrel and this is damn good. Great bang for your buck. I like Blanton's more but I can't find it anywhere.
