My Islay journey thus far, has been, in chronological order: Laphroaig 10, Uigeadail, Corryvreckan, Ardbeg 10, Lagavulin 16, An Oa. When I got to the Lagavulin, at the time, I felt it was a little too subtle for my tastes. But as I've been going back and forth between those aforementioned bottles, my appreciation for the Lagavulin grew. I doubt I'll be able to source Laphroaig 16, but I'll keep a weather eye out.

Makes me wonder if the master distiller/blender at Laphroaig simply picked barrels that would take that 16yr in a similar direction as the Lagavulin.

This is due to the tariff war going on. These Islays are nice on occasion, but I wont be drinking from $50 and $60 bottles regularly - im not Gordon Gekko for cripes sake!
