- @bedlamborn Yeah,you can keep Laphroaig 10 or Select.Quarter Cask,Triple Wood and Lore are the ones to try.Its strange but some very good whiskies can be 43%abv,but for me 40% just seems 'watery' and lacking in real flavour!in Laphroaig Triple WoodComment by Ian_CrombieSeptember 16 2019 at 5:44PM

- @Ian_Crombie Laphroaig and the the use of E150 or Farbstoff is one of the big sins for them. Also one big sin is the low ABV of 40% for most of their expressions.in Laphroaig Triple WoodComment by bedlambornSeptember 16 2019 at 5:31PM
