I had a few drams of 30yo Laphroaig last night in Stockholm (at the bargain price of 400SEK (£30) a glass). It's definately not as peaty as th 10yo which makes it a very smooth drink. Lovely.

There's something oddly satisfying about drinking whisky which costs more for a glass than you can buy a bottle of other stuff.
It is a good bit smoother and has an entirely different character compared to it's younger siblings. I finished my bottle last night and was very sorry to see it go. I enjoyed it immensely and despite the price, will definitely be having another bottle some time in the future.

<delurks> I like Laphroaig .. not usually a huge whisky fan, but that is the best I've tried. <relurks>

Can someone tell me how you define the taste of peat? I've never had the craving to go down the marshes and eat a chunk.

Quote:
 When referring to peat flavour in regards to whisky, one is actually referring to peat smoke which does have a distinctive flavour (my grandparents burned peat in their fire so I know what that tastes like). Most Scottish distillers dry the barley using peat fies which imparts the flavour of the peat smoke to the barley to a greater or lesser degree according to the amount of peat used.
