Quite nice. It’s mostly Frog so it’s ashy-smoky with some sweetness. Good flavor, but not overly aggressive. Maybe some pears/green apples. Thick mouthfeel. Long finish. Pretty easy drinking.
edit: After trying this side-by-side with #1 and 2, this is a bit more disappointing than when I first opened it. I still enjoy it, but given how heavy handed the Laphroaig is, a friend asked: 'why wouldn't you just get a bottle of Laphroaig?' and, given the price, I find myself wondering the same thing.

@PBMichiganWolverine, Price increases? Tariffs? Finding Scotch in Denver sucks? All of the above? I'm not sure. I believe the Laphroaig in here is 15 years, unsure about the others, but I don't think anything is crazy old, it's just where we are. But given that people are paying $100 for Booker's and $1,000 for OFBB these days, I guess it's not a terrible value proposition.
Wow, $150 is pricey. Any idea if it’s older malts in there , or just the never ending price increases?
