Another multi-night blind tasting this time with an Islay sherry cask twist. This Laphroaig easily came out on top and stood heads and shoulders above Ardbeg Uigedail, Kilchoman Sanaig, Lagavulin Distillers, and Lagavulin 16. To be fair the Uigedail was the only thing even in the same league as this Laphroiag offering. Probably should have included the Lagavulin 12 instead of the standard lower proof offerings. I immediately picked up an orange peel with a chewy cherry flavor wonderfully mixed with everything that is great about Islay, smoke, peat, and sea salt.
