When it comes to whisky I am a big fan. Now when I say whisky I don't mean a bottle of Bells or Famous Grouse, I'm talking about real whisky. High quality single malt whisky, the kind you have to spend a little bit more money on. I have been drinking whisky for around ten year and over the time I have refined my taste and now I have a ...

Despite having spend considerable time in Scotland I never got into whiskey's, I cast my mind back to the time I was dragged around the Edinburgh scotch whiskey experience and I remember finding the Islay whiskey the best of a bad lot. Someone quite recently gave me a glass of this stuff at their house, and I slowly but surely ... Read the complete review

Laphroaig's aroma is like being in rural Ireland in the winter. There's a strong peaty aroma with several more subtle earthy tones underneath it. On the tongue there is still a distinct peaty taste, which will increase if you breathe air over the top of your tongue. The middle is a warm and slightly malty tone and the finish is again ...

Hailing from the beautiful Islay in the Western Isles of Scotland, Laphroaig or, phonetically "La-froyg", is an extremely flavoursome, peaty, kelpy whisky that offers superb value for money, but, rather like Marmite can illicit wildly differing opinion. In my own, single-malt loving opinion, Laphroaig is best thought of almost ... Read the complete review

Laphroaig (lah - frayg) is not a whisky for the faint-hearted. It is not a whisky for the novice. It is certainly not a whisky for those that need their drinks cut with soft drinks. There is absolutely no point in wasting this whisky on someone who won't appreciate it! As you might be able to tell, I'm a massive fan of this ... Read the complete review

I get this whisky as a gift sometimes and when I do my heart sinks.I cannot drink the stuff and nor can my friends, that I try to foist it on!!I tastes like a strong disinfectant, something akin to Jeyes Fluid. Whatever, it belongs down the toilet.Why?Other malts do not have this characteristic, this chemical taste. The distillers should go to Islay to pick up a few pointers.

The Emperor has no clothes. This is dreadful. Both my partner and I had to pour it down the sink. We both love and drink a wide range of whiskies but this tasted as if it had been contaminated with dry cleaning fluid and I actually wondered whether it had been, but my partner said he had just had some in a bar and it tasted the same. Not recommended!

Scottish Island malts have a great reputation abroad, a reputation that usually is merited. So, when a friend offered me a dram of Laphroaig 10 Year Old today, I accepted with alacrity. I started with a wee sip, only to find that it was awful stuff. It tasted like diesel filtered through peat-moss. I simply could not finish ... Read the complete review

Bad experience with this "premium and rare" single malt. In a year of keeping, the color's gone to something like dark rum and the taste to something like a strong cough syrup. Very disappointing ! Sadly the Laphroaig website doesn't have a place to write to them and give feedback.

Laphroaig 10 Year Old is an all-malt Scotch Whisky from the island of Islay in the Western Isles of Scotland. Laphroaig, pronounced "La-froyg", is a Gaelic word meaning "the beautiful hollow by the broad bay". Sounds great don't you think! This Whisky has a beautiful golden amber colour to it, darker than ... Read the complete review

When I was first passed a modest dram of Laphroaig (pronounce it "La-froyg") at a party, I must admit to being a little intimidated. But then it was probably my first encounter with a single malt Scotch wisky, and that not being my tipple at the time after a little taste I politely turned it down. Maybe five years ...

Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away, there was a country called America that decided to slap a prohibition on alcohol. (Shocking I know, but terrible things happen in fairy tales. There's a happy ending I promise). This was a very sad time for the country, and many people wailed and beat their breasts in protest. However, ... Read the complete review

Yes, it's a grand drop of scotch indeed. I do like a good single malt and I have tasted a few I must admit. I have a distinct preference for the classic malts but sometines divert to savour others. Over the years I have aquired a taste for the rather stronger flavour of Islay malts and one week while shopping in Tesco, ... Read the complete review

Laphroaig is one of the 3 most common and best malts from the island of Islay, the other two being Lagavulin and Bowmore. It is quite different from other Islay malts due to its highly distinctive flavor. Laphroaig smells strongly of alcohol, something most people label as a "phenolic" aroma. Laphroaig is one ...

Pirates would love this stuff. Read on. I’ve only ever experienced the 10 year distilled Laphroaig whiskey and I can’t get enough of it (because it’s so expensive round these parts). You either love this whiskey or hate it. I’ve sampled my fair share of commercially successful whiskeys such as Bells ... Read the complete review

I?m quite new to Malt Whisky and I've only really tried four or five different ones but this is the best. Gosh but it's good stuff! The key word here is character; Laphroaig has got it in droves and makes Glenmorangie and Glenfiddich seem almost weedy by comparison. I?d even put it above Highland Park 18 year old though I think I ... Read the complete review

Yep, it's Peaty. In fact, it tastes like the crew of Blue Peater emptied the earth from the Italian Sunken Garden into the vat. It's so peaty, you can burn it on your fire to keep warm. This is a seriously nice whisky, but if you like a nice fruity number, you're better off with something else ... Read the complete review

Now the Islay Malt Whiskys are definitely an acquired taste. I cannot think that there is any way that a 'whisky virgin' can drink a glass of Laphroaig and do any thing but make a face in the same way as they would of presented with a dose of cod-liver oil. However, there is no way that any case can be taken under The ... Read the complete review
