Have to say it has quickly become my favorite. In my (short and shallow) experience, nothing rewards a continuous swirl around the mouth like 1/4 cask Laphroaig. It has a buttery savory-ness to it that so far in my experience is incomparable. The 10 yr Laphroaig has some of this as well and is still my favorite for a "daily dram". Lagavulin 16 has its own rewarding complexities, and the Ardbeg still escapes my appreciation for some reason.
But the 1/4 cask Laphroaig keeps drawing me back. I find myself not just swirling it, but practically gargling with it. Anyone else feel this way?

Have you tried the Ardbeg Uigeadail? Reminded me a bit of the QC, but is better and more complex, IMO.
