Smoke Head or Sherry Bomb?

My usually Laphroaig 10 goes for around $42 around here. I recently purchased the Laphroaig 18 for right around $85.

I tasted the new 18yo Laphroaig on Sunday at a friends, thought it was excellent. I saw it at a local bottle shop for $64 but $85 is probably closer to normal.

We also tasted an 18yo Longrow, 1969 25yo Bowmore and 17yo Ardbeg (no longer available). Quite a night :^).

BTW: Found 1/2 bottle of the Bowmore and 2/3 bottle of the Ardbeg in one of my kitchen cabinets. Some other stuff was in front of it.

BTW2: I've tasted 25yo and 30yo Laphroaig and the 30yo might be my favorite whisky of all time.

Wow, I thought these were new strains of herb. Who would drink Scotch when man gave us rum.

Well Bongofury,
Some people had barley, others had sugar cane :^)

Bongo, I recently polished off my RAILEAN Reserve XO gifted by my older brother. First good rum I've had in a while.

Next up is two Japanese Single malts going head to head.
