Tonight at dinner I ordered a Lagavulin 16yr, another Islay single malt. I think I can get into the smoky island malts. I have to say it's pretty close the Laphroaig.
If nothing else, it's worth drinking the Islay whisky because of the cool namesl
Laphroaig -- "La Froyg"
Lagavulin -- "Lahga VU lin"
I try to say this with my best Scottish accent. Sometimes I use my Pakistani accent.
