Laphroaig Select

I only bought this because it was on sale. This is my least favorite scotch so far. The most prominent flavor is Chloraseptic throat spray. I should've upgraded to the 10 year. Not recommended.

Very peaty/Smokey. It’s a little more thin than I expected. Slight burn. The smoke and ash lingers longer than the sweetness.

Initial tasting as a side-by-side with the 10 yo. Very disappointed. A shadow of the 10 yo. Flat, thin and uninspiring. Pay the extra $10-15 for the 10 yo. May work better for those just checking out peated whisky. I will revisit outside of the side-by-side.

👀: straw. Legs. Yeah. 👃: grainy sweetness. Hint of peat. Lots of oak. 👅: smooth. No heat. Hardly any peat. No finish but hot dang I want more. Overall: I could drink this all night.
