Laphroaig

So I polished off my fifth of Knob Creek about two weeks ago, and needed to get a new bottle of whisky. On Wednesday, I went looking for one, and saw that a Scottish single malt called Laphroaig (the 15 year variety) was on sale. It still wasn't cheap, but it looked worth it, and came recommended from a friend. So I splurged a little and brought it home.

Now that stuff is good. There's about three different flavors that hit you, and it finishes with a really nice smokey oak taste. The smell is as of freshly cut hay, and it's almost golden in color. On the whole, a very worthy whisky. Given the price, I'll probably wind up nursing this through January, but it's worth it.
