Sorry, re-read my post and realized I’m half asleep on the Lagavulin vs. Laphroig.
OK, here’s the final say: Laphroig is what I consider the less drinkable of the two, but perhaps not the most smokey. In other words, Lavavulin is more smokey, but (IMO) more drinkable due to other characteristics. Both will leave you stinking of flaming peat moss the day afterwards.
Most people would probably not agree with me; most people cannot stand Lagavulin, purely on the strength of the smoke.
I would NOT give someone a bottle of either Laphroig or Lagavulin unless I knew their preferences in malt.
You don't know what you are talking about.
Suggestion: See a good gastroenterologist ........ that leaves more 'vulin for me. ;D
