I bought a bottle of Laphroaig a couple of weeks back thinking it would taste like....well....Scotch. Instead it reminded me of the antibiotics they clean your skin with before surgury.



I'm not gonnna try and big league you here, but that is in fact a very good description of Laphroaig for an infrequent Scotch drinker. That's not where you want to start, that's at the finish line.

Quite right, Bornyo, women don't know shit about Scotch.

Try Dalwhinnie or Glenlivet for the polar opposite of Laphroaig, they're usually easy to find. Or try Highland Park, or Dalmore for a bit sharper edge. The above, Aberlour might also be a great single malt intro. I could go on for days, I drink a lot of Scotch.

Clontarf is a fantastic Irish Whiskey!
