I love Laphroaig Quarter Cask, it's one of my all time favorite Scotches. Lovely peat, sweet and smoky but less medicinal and a finish that lasts forever.
Thank you Ben for your work on these distillery visits. You're pretty goofy and make me laugh sometimes with your stereotypical Dscherman bloke antics. Keep it up, sempai.
Laphroaig has always been one of my favorites and look towards every occasion when I can pour a dram (or two). One of these days I hope to visit the distillery to see this liquid gold being made.
I had the chance to work with a scotsman a few years ago. His name was Jason King. I asked him about Scotch Whiskey. He told me the best was Laphoraig. The way he said it...sounded to me like Lafrog. But I researched it and bought a bottle to try. Wow, it was everything he said it was. Such a peat taste, rich, powerful. A unique and great single malt whiskey. I will always have a bottle. I wish that I could drink a few shots with him. But for now, I put it above the Irish whiskies that are so smooth. For special occasions. Cheers to all.
Laphroaig was the first whiskey that i fell in love with. Drank whiskey my whole life and it was always meh. When i tried Laphraiog and knew i found my drink.
Getting it into the US market in 1908 is both pre world war 1 and prohibition, so those wouldnt affect him getting a start in the market. No doubt WW1 would affect sales, and prohibition decades later would as well.
Love Laphroaig for it’s medicinal taste. All others are yes, peaty, smoky, but don’t have such iodine punch like Laphroaig. Not everybody likes it, but that’s fine, nobody will touch my goods then 😁
I like the Google Earth animation at the beginning of the video. A simple way to give us a sense of the distillery’s location.

Yes, I can totaly agree and non chill filtration and 48%ABV with good prize.
My dream for visitation. Great visit.
The sherry cask was a great addition to the core range.
Absolutely brilliant video! Thank You! Enjoying a wee dram of Laphroaig 10 year as I watch this. ❤
Thank you!

The most consistent malt from Islay; certainly my favourite, and unlike several others on Islay, still (relatively) affordable.
Great work as always. Great to learn about the history and the future plans of the Distillery. Thanks a lot
Laphroaig absolute best value next to Bowmore for the 10 year. Never regret buying a bottle, and never will
These distillery videos are top quality keep them coming!
Thank you!

Are the 3 48% ABV bottles non-chill filtered? If they are, why does it not say it on the bottle? I heard that the 18 year old might be coming bacK.
As per usual: *i nottambuli sono qui.*

People hate Laphroiag? Is that even possible?
I come from Viet Nam, i like Laphroaig whisky, whisky with heavy smoke and seafood, perfect !
actually
Sorry mate but that intro could put anyone to sleep
Going to use less peat? Booo!
Very disappointing to hear the environment bs. Please spare us the sound of toilets flushing!
Seems lazy and ungenerous of the Laphroaig to offer basic GA drams as part of the tasting.
Imho. Quarter Cask is their best offering.
Definitely. Basic 10 is too watered down, it should be 46 % no doubt. I understand it’s their pure commercial offering but definitely not best value.
@@ZhuJo99 If the 10 was higher it'd be my favorite. It doesn't have extra flair, it's just good.
@ yeah it's fine but I like QC more. More flavour.

My mom always sneakily sips all my whiskey bottles dry, but refuses to touch this one simply based on the smell alone.
