Im a Laphroaig man. You'll either love it or hate it. If you have never tried an islay malt you might not get on with the smokiness and peaty taste so better stick with something from the Highlands or Speyside.
Drinking Laphroaig I can picture myself standing on a Scottish cliff top with the sea air howling around. I can taste smoke, peat, tar, sea and tcp medicine.

Cheers!
