Laphroaig for the win… Was in Oban a few weeks back for a holiday and got a bottle of Kilchomain from the shop across the road from the distillery (no way was I paying the distillery prices - £75 for a 10 year?). Really enjoying it, quite liking the salty overtones.
Hey, you’ve found what’s good for you :) I did sample the Oban and it was nice, but not at the price they were hawking it at. My current overall favourite is probably a tossup between the Laphroaig Cairdeas I got in 2017 (I think? I’m a bit fuzzy) and a 12-year non-chill-filtered Aberlour… which are such different taste profiles as to be practically incomparable :D Everyone has different tastes, so… going back to the thread starter, let’s celebrate different tastes.
