the peaty-ness of it can be so strong that you can taste it on your pallate the next day. This is not always a good thing IMO.
I completely agree with Tim's review and think that this is a great scotch. I also like the original cask strength version as well.

I'll get a review of the CS and the 15 up shortly.

Giving me a hint, ey, Bob?
I shoudl have done the CS recently when I had a dram, but alas....The next time I have a pour I'll post a review.
Was I that obvious? I think I am going to pick up a bottle this weekend...Bevmo has one in stock.
I'm a scotch lover and have been for years. Pretty much since I was old enough to drink (I'm 41 now). I can't stand Laphroaig. It's not the peat. It's the phenol smell. It smells like a room full of cadavers...blah.One of the other reviewers said he doesn't know any scotch lover who dislikes Laphroaig (or words to that effect). Well, my dad is exactly that ... loves scotch, would buy JW Black all the time if he could, loves my Macallan, but can't take those western island scotches: no Talisker, nor Lagavulin, and certainly no Laphroaig!! Oh well, to each his own.
It is definitely a love it or leave it with this one. I love it...
I usually drink Irish whiskey but I do enjoy Macallan Scotch. I've always wondered how you say Laphroaig?? La-fro-IG?
