The best Laphroaig

Which do you think is the best Laphroaig?

I'm not in a position to answer the poll, but I will say that the 15 I sipped while sitting in Iain Henderson's chair will likely never be topped.

I was so tempted to click the last option...... :twisted:

Of the current (last 5 years) the QC does it for me , the 10/40% is going downhill rapidly (46%/NCF would be nice new owners!) , the 10yo /CS was one of the most disappointing bottles i've ever had the pleasure of opening , so much expected , so much missing !
The 15 and the 30 ? not much there (Certainly not at £200 a bottle for the 30) .
As for the 40 , my darling wife summed it up in the Lochside "Smells of Musty , Old Men !" , needless to say Alistair found it highly amusing !

I'm somewhat amused at the inspiration for this poll question!

(See poll, "Are polls a waste of my time?") :wink:

If I could only have one, the QC would beat the 10CS and the 15, but only by a razor-thin margin in my opinion. Each has plenty to offer.

I haven't tried the standard 10, and, as for the 30 and 40, they're much too expensive for me to even consider.

Admiral - it was too good an opportunity to pass up. Credit where it is due.

2. 15YO
3. QC
4. 10YO

Never had the 40YO

Never have had 30yo or 40yo, but current listing is:

1. 10 CS
2. QC
3. 10yo
4. 15yo
