I first got a bottle of Laphroaig about 2 or 3 years ago when they had their campaign "Opinions Welcome" going. I loved that they had people who loved it and people who hated it. I thought to myself that I had to try this scotch that had everyone divided. I will admit other than some Johnny Walker here and there I had never really gotten into Scotch. This instantly became my favorite Scotch. I LOVE the peaty flavor and because of this bottle became a huge Islay Scotch fan. The peatier the better! But this bottle isn't for everyone!
