I can’t imagine something more peaty than Laphroaig?
I think both Ardbeg A and Lav. Are more peaty especially the Arbeg. Their Supernova is heavenly
Wow I guess I need to go shopping tomorrow..
Lagavulin is like drinking a campfire. Never had Ardbeg so can't compare, but way smokier than Laphroaig.
Well, Kent was talking the peaty, not the smoky aspect... I didn't find Laphroaig nearly as smoky as some I've tried, but peaty? It was like liquefying moss and wood, then trying to drink it. lol
Ardbeg and Laphroaig are really freaking close for their standard issues. If I'm leaning that way I go with which one is cheaper that week I'm at the store. For the past year Ardbeg has been $5 cheaper a bottle and that adds up for tobacco money

Wait now, I always equated peaty with smoky, but now that you differentiate the two Laphroaig tastes more like a “band aid” than a “campfire” to me, so maybe the flavor I am thinking of IS peaty.
My grandfather owned a family greenhouse business when I was growing up, and used to mix his own potting soil, so there were bags of pure peat around. I've tasted that scent, if that makes sense, in Laphroaig, while others I've tried only had smoke without that, so as far as my taste is concerned, peaty and smokey are two very different things. *shrug* I find Laphroaig very peaty and woody, not so much on the smokey part.
Ok. I need some Ardberg. Hopefully the local Boozeria has it in stock.
I am going to drink with a little more attention now, and will grab a Lavauglin and Ardberg to taste test.
Lagavulin? Lavagulin? Dang those Islay Scottish names .

I really like Ardbeg 10...especially when paired with a full strength English blend.
