Laphroaig 10 - Abhor It or Adore It


Laphroaig 10...what can I say?  It's so pungent and oh so intense.  This particular whisky tastes medicinal and to be quite honest it tastes like hospitals and bandages.  Granted I've never tasted hospital and bandages, it's the best way I can describe it.  I love it.  So far it's one of my favorites.  PC is not a big fan but for some reason Laphroaig and I are made for each other.  Apparently, according to PC, this particular whisky was not outlawed during Prohibition because of its medicinal purposes.  Medicinal purposes indeed.  I was sipping this over the weekend with a toothache in full effect, after a few sips it was pretty much numb.  Enjoy this with with a very cool splash of water...perhaps even a little more than a splash.  Beware of this one, chances of you liking it is 50/50.
