i am very pleased that you reviewed this essential laphroaig.  i enjoyed your review immensely. i suspected that there might be some sherry, though, it hasn't been confirmed. you were very correct to say that it has fewer medicinal notes, that is a good observation. sadly, i have only a couple of drams left in my bottle.

Thank you. I enjoyed it. This is a quality dram.

I know froaig uses ex-bourbon casks and with this its the seasoned oak barrels not sure if seasoned means ex-bourbon. But I do not think

it's a sherry cask there are just some sweet notes that are some what sherry like to me. What a great product this cask strength is. Many great reviews and awards.

I love this scotch...very oily and smoky.

I actually tried Scotch for the first time today and this is the one I bought. Crazy you say? I am also a fan of mezcal, which has the same smoky characteristics as the Islay single malts. That's why I went for the Laphroaig. Really enjoyed this...tried it first straight up and was intense (in a good way), but a little splash of water really smoothed it out and brought out more of the subtle flavors in this wonderful scotch.

I have a bottle of the quarter cask and im loving it. I will try and get some of the 10 when I can.

I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge on whether this is a more peaty/smoky whiskey than the quarter cask?? I have a bottle of quarter cask , but need to try it and was wondering if the cask strength was more intense than the quarter cask.....? thanks...

Laphroaig cask strength IS scotch!!! I'm def an islay fan and an even bigger laphroaig fan, the cask strength is the one .... For me at least. ;)
