Last Christmas my SIL gave me a bottle of Laphroaig which, I confess, I’d never had before and haven’t yet opened. But while out to dinner a few weeks ago, I ordered a Laphroaig on the rocks.

My wife looked at me and asked, “How do you like it?”

I said, “They must have thrown some dirty sneakers in the mixture and let them age with the malt.”

An acquired taste indeed. Is the sneaker taste the peat or the smokiness? LOL. I will acquire the taste before the bottle runs dry.

HA.

My kids and I just had another islay tasting a couple months ago. Had all those and more that you list above.
