Charlotte says I like the laphroiag. Its good when you don't feel so good.

by **les taylor** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 12:20 am

In this poll I went for Ardbeg Ten the laphroiag is good though. I just like the spirity cutting edge from this ardbeg.

The Laphroaig is a great whisky, but it would be the Ardbeg for me...

by **Dubois** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 7:14 am

Ardbeg Ten for me...

No contest in favor of Ardbeg.

Now if Laphroaig were to start non chill-filtering the standard 10yo
and up the ABV to 46% . . . now that would be a contest
I would love to see :wink:

Exactly No Contest

Laph 10 :mrgreen:

by **Drrich1965** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 10:34 pm

I loved Ardbeg 10, but the Laph is great as well, and can be found for 30 percent less at times, so, it may be a better value

I voted for the Laphroaig.

I like them both. A lot. Too much. But I can pick up the Laphroaig 10 at more then one location for $30, and the cheapest I can find the Ardbeg is $46.

I have bottles of both open in the cabinet, but I pick up the Laphroaig more often.

Ardbeg TEN - the best

Laph 10 - OK more affordable but they should really bottle it at 46% and omit the chill filtering. :roll:

These polls are rather limited in choice, why restrict it to 10 years old?

Surely best peaty Islay would have been a better poll?

For me: Probably Bruichladdich PC5 if you can get one at a reasonable price, followed by the 3D3. Maybe then Ardbeg 10.

I voted Ardbeg 10 as my pick. For a rounder, more balanced dram it wins my vote from these two. Might even be pouring myself one after dark tonight

by **Ardbeg311** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 12:33 pm

Ardbeg 10 and it's not even close.

by **lexvo** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 8:49 pm

I like Laphroaig 10, but Ardbeg 10 is my favourite of those two. And I recentrly discovered a place where I can get the Ardbeg for almost the same price as the Laphroaig

by **BubbaC** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 9:24 pm

Ardberg 10 brought me back to the Islay style, The Laphroaig drove me away. Although, maybe I should give the Laphroaig another whirl...

Ardbeg 10 , The Laph 10 is a shadow of it's former self imo whereas THE TEN is the greatest all rounder ever .
