Laphroaig 10 vs. Ardbeg 10

[talisker10]

While working out of the country and having little to do in the evenings I happened to be splitting some Ardbeg 10 and Laphroaig 10 with a work buddy at the same time..and had Laphroaig QC a few weeks before. I'd say they were fairly equal over all..but I would have to say the Ardbeg is more refined and a bit sweeter than the Laphroaig 10 although I do not think it is worth $20 more per bottle at least for me. I thought thought the QC beat them both. Since then I have had Laphroaig 10 Cask Strength and I would also rate it above the Ardbeg and real close to the QC. Perhaps in the near future I can try a CS version of Ardbeg for a fair comparison.
