Ah Laphroaig. From what I can tell...the whisky that offends people most. It's not Laphroaig's fault. Some folk don't like peated whisky, that much is understandable but....you've no idea how often I hear "I've tried that Laphroaig and it's disgusting!" Of course, what these people should say is..."I've tried Laphroaig and didn't like it. I don't like smoky whiskies!" but...in the words of the late Jim Morrison...people are strange.
I DO like Laphroaig. And the Lore tends to sit atop their core range. But..is it any good?
