Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Here it is. He says "Cindy and I are breaking up" - then proceeds with the review of Laphroaig 10 Year Single Malt Scotch, which he tells us has been his go-to single malt - it's a "no compromise" Malt, he assures us.

Tbf the laphroaig 10 year is a really good bottle

Laphroaig 10 is currently my favorite. Burnt electric wire that fires up every sense. Love it.

Tastes like a burnt-down hospital by the seashore.

With subtle notes of bark, moss, asphalt, and slightly dirty asshole

Delicious ozone!

The Wee Beasty is also very very good. My local shop has a couple of $100+ releases from Laphroaig that seem more trendy than anything else, but I'm still tempted. My wife would probably leave me if she knew I was willing to go into triple digits MSRP for a bottle... which is probably how we ended up with this thread.

I used to think Laphroaig was the poor man's Lagavulin, but now I don't believe there's a single poor man's thing about the brand.

joke comments aside, I always go back to it. familiar, comforting, pricey enough to be special, but not crazy enough to feel guilty.

I love a good single malt, but im not a fan of laphroig. Too peaty.

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Agreed. I love scotch and slightly peaty is ok but Laphroig tastes like somebody put a cigarette out in the bottle before pouring your drink.
