Laphroaig is my tipple. Distillery is only a few hundred yards from Lagavulin, completely different flavor.
I must say, I like them both.
Lagavulin for fall/winter.
Laphroaig for spring and summer.
These are medicinal. There is a reason that it is called “water of life” in Gaelic, “uisge beatha.”
I never take more than a wee dram at once. IN the winter in the AM with coffee, and in the summer, in the evening as a night cap.The Scots have been doing just that for many hundreds of years.
My great-grandmother lived to 109 because of it. She was a MacDonald from Glenelg.
