"Laphroaig 10 is weird, man. Marmite of the whiskey world. On the nose it's like a freshly opened tin of tennis balls, on the palate I get medicine and iodine and seaweed and then the finish is all burnt rubber and squash court shoes. Fantastic stuff."

"A full bodied, runaway forest fire of a dram. If you like peated whiskies, you'll love this one. Not for everyone, but a classic Islay powerhouse."
