| | Laphroaig |
 | | The whiskies from Laphroaig can certainly never be accused of being the quiet ones; they’re in your face, grab your attention, take hold of your taste-buds, get them in a headlock, strangle them, assault them and kick them, then gradually soothe them and caress them until you start the process all over again. |
 | | Laphroaig, pronounced “La-Froyg”, is Gaelic for ‘The Beautiful Hollow by the Sea (or ‘by the Broad Bay’ depending on the translation)’, and the whiskies are aged in Bourbon barrels. |
 | | The Douglas Laing and Co 16 y/o bottling is harder to find and quite expensive and the Laphroaig 30 y/o is called ‘extremely rare’ and it is indeed very hard to find and costs $740 a bottle. |
