Daniel Week: Laphroaig Lore + Laphroaig 10

[@TheMasterfulcreator]

in defense of laphroaig as a beginner whisky: laphroaig was the first real flavor experience i ever had. drinking bourbon everyone was like 'ooo you'll get cherries, caramel, blah blah' never got any of it. but then laphroaig was described as a campfire and goddamn it i tasted campfire. it was great. made me so happy, and i've never gone back from islay

[@UsedBrain4U]

I had a very similar experience with Laphroaig. It completely changed my Whisky experience.

[@elc2k385]

Yeah, it smells and tastes like the Industrial Revolution 👍

[@enticingFicus]

jay Garcia -Ha, I agree. Like some coastal turn-of-the-century factory that melts steel or at least burns things. I love this whisky. It doesn’t F around and it’s great.

[@scotchllama1430]

@Lord Garth, I agree with you completely. It is 2018 and KZbin should have spoiler tag options by now. However, it is to our misfortune and disappointment that KZbin's creative department has not even so much as hinted at this being an option in the near or distant future. Perhaps they have brought it up to the Chief Innovation Officer and they dismissed the idea or perhaps KZbin CEO Susan Wojcicki has the last word on that and hasn't given authorization for whatever their reasoning might be. For a better KZbin comments experience, I would like to suggest a userscript manager browser extension such as the very popular Greasemonkey for Firefox or Tampermonkey for Chrome. Using those extensions I believe it is possible to download scripts that enable you to hide KZbin comments until you decide to view them. Please accept my sincere apology for your unfavorable experience due to my comment. Also, be advised that today is the last day of Daniel Week and one can only assume the Dark Mooch aka Reverse Rex will be making an appearance in today's video and perhaps in subsequent videos. So when you see my name in the comment section you may want to refrain from reading that comment as to not have another unsatisfactory viewing experience. Again, my apologies. Warm wishes, -Scotch Llama

[@nebulusnebulus6503]

This week was my first contact with Islay peat whiskeys. My first glass of Laphroaig 10 was overwhelming and somewhat disappointing. Two days later I tried Lagavulin 8 this time and was equally amazed and fascinated. I did not know that smoky aromas could marry so well with a sweetness that little by little it was coming out of its hiding place behind a smoke screen. Today I just gave Laphroaig 10 a second chance and this time I have managed to tune in to what this whiskey is capable of offering. It has taken me to Scorsese's movie "Shutter Island" over the cliff, into the cave with the fire, into the gloomy corridors of a drug-scented asylum. And suddenly, in two drinks it has turned into a placid beach gathering on a starry night with friends around a candle. And the anise, raisins and candied dark fruit have come out behind the same mysterious smokescreen from the beginning. What a trip, friends!

[@stormrider8861]

Lore is what I think Scotch Whiskey, at its core, at its soul, should be.

[@lonesparrow2558]

If anyone is curious about the testing mentioned at the beginning, my guess based on their videos is that they received the following results: Daniel: INFJ Rex: INFP

[@Jo8Nathan]

thought the same.

[@camarotrash]

After careful research I also picked Laphroaig 10 as my first. Best decision of my life. It was only like three weeks ago and it is truly an eternal Christmas memory.

[@alex-ks2se]

You guys just keep making me more and more excited to try laphroaig within the next month.

[@Blanderr]

Tried Laphroaig for the first time today and the first thing I though of when I took a whiff of it was smoked salmon and the taste was campfire and medicinals, maybe some of that nutty black coffee that's maybe been burnt just slightly but I love it and I can't explain why

[@banditking6573]

Couldn't have said it better.

[@mishmish123987]

Reasonably new to whiskey and just tried Laphroig today. Tastes like salty old used water :( Guess i cant have this one neat yet. Will try again in a few years :P

[@francesho5454]

I'm a newbie and I'm not acclimated to smoke/peat yet. When I tried a sip of Laphroaig 10 not too long ago with my more advanced whiskey-drinking Asian friends, they pointed out to me that, beyond the obvious smoke and cleaning product scents, there's also a ginseng taste on the palate and in the after taste, which I totally agree! Somehow that made Laphroaig more interesting to me and I'll definitely give it another shot in the near future.

[@bobbyloomis1825]

watching this I had to try Lore. My brother bought a bottle and 3 of us sat down to enjoy this experience. After pouring 3 glasses, before our first taste, one of them got up and left, came back with a mini bag of chili cheese Fritos, took a handful of Fritos to his mouth and while chewing took his first sip of Laphroaig Lore. I couldn't believe what I was witnessing. Then I thought of you guys, "the best whisky is the way you like like it".

[@rengar56]

I respect the cult of Ardbeg and Laphroaig, but I can't pick one over the other. I just love peat and all the different ones out there. Even though they are claim peated there is a vast vast difference in taste and that is what I like.

[@dc48664]

Laphroaig 10 is my favorite and to me is the most mellow whiskey. The peatiness is there, but doesn't leave a cigar smoke in my mouth like even a tame peaty whiskey like Highland Park. I could drink it by the glassful and sometimes do.

[@Tkeaney01]

[@b0ssbeerreviews83]

I’ve hated whiskey for years, but liked Elijah Craig and Ild Granddad Bonded. Finally put the money out for Laproaig 10… as a Tequila/Mezcal lover, I loved it on the first sip

[@pipeminer7281]

Laphroaig 10 was my first smokey whisky because of you guys. After it put the smack down on my ass, I was left a bit confused, I kinda liked what I had just experienced but feel like I shouldn't. I now want to try an Ardbeg, I think. Thank you for all the great information.

[@andrewholland21]

Just had my first laphroaig tonight after only ever having bourbons and I was instantly hooked. It wasn’t over aggressive, I got black pepper, salt water and seaweed mainly. I love salty and peppery food so that was very pleasant. Was much smoother than I was expecting.

[@NeonSonOfXenon]

Dude, that statement about introverts is so spot on. I'm an introvert, and I've had people point out that one I get going, I don't stop, especially if it's a topic I enjoy and am knowledgeable about. Like, get me on about linguistics or programming algorithms or certain anime/game series, good luck getting me to shut up.

[@christophkiesewetter1871]

I'll pick Laphi every day a week over Ardbeg. The peat is tastier for me.

[@bfdtyper]

The first time I tried Laphroaig, I knew I made a good choice. Apparently I was one of the few that can start their whisky journey with a punch in the mouth and enjoy the hell out of it! I recently picked up some Ardbeg 10 due to the raving of a friend, and while I like it very much, it's just not Laphroaig. My next 2 specials whisky purchases will be a bottle of Lore, and a bottle of Lagavulin 16 because Ron Swanson is a great man.

[@jeremywertz7278]

Try the Offerman edition Lagavulin 11. It’s finished in Guinness casks!

[@chrismarshall4486]

I’m watching back through some of your videos. I agree with you about not drinking whiskey while eating. I can’t even have a drink right after eating. It messes up the flavors for me

[@deacon997]

I am a huge fan of Laphroaig, however I have also done several head to head comparisons between Laphroaig and Ardbeg and always end up coming back to Ardbeg. Again I enjoy both but Ardbeg is my go to Islay. Yes that includes Lagavulin.

[@micahhaislett3792]

I just tried laphroaig 10 my first islay and I wanted so bad to like it. I don’t hate it, I just couldn’t get past the Smokey brine. Also tried my first sherry cask, 15 year single barrel balvenie. And it was good. Super dark fruit and oak spices. I’ll have to keep going back to that laphroaig 10 as I progress.

[@jackhammer8439]

This just blew my mind. Was side by side tasting Lore and Uigeadail…. After I tasted each a couple time I decided I preferred the Ardbeg. However, there was only about a quarter shot of the Uige left so I threw it in w about 3/4-1oz of Lore. WOW! 🔥

[@austinwitham109]

Never thought I'd enjoy drinking a tire fire but laphroaig 10 proved me wrong. I'm usually bigger on Irish or lighter less smoky scotch but I have no regrets buying this bottle.

[@Mooxdog]

One nice thing about living in Arizona is I can get a bottle of Laphoaig 10 for $30. I always have a bottle of it at my home. Recently traveled to Edinburgh and decided to give Lore a try and holy crap was it amazing. I noticed there was less iodine too which was a pleasant change for me. Good choice Daniel.

[@AFO6Neptune]

I love Lore. On my top 10 easily.

[@richnewman]

[@TheHi_King]

I'm only 19 so just starting out in the whiskey world. I started with monkey shoulder and it didn't do much for me, was super hard to pick out any flavours. Went to a bar one time and have heard about Laphroaig and decided to order a glass. Fell in love with the first sip, clear distinct smoky taste that reminded me of camping trips I used to do by the river when I was a child. Laphroaig Four Oak and the Lagavulin 16 are my go to whiskeys now!

[@maciejszyluk2062]

Monkey Shoulder is no where near Laphroaig...you did a great decision to move on

[@christinavanness7697]

Holy crap.. So much to unpack... No Lore did not convert me.. In fact Daniels insistance that it was Laphroaigs Dark Cove made it even worse .. It's not Dark Cove.. It's trying to be Ardbeg... I was disappointed.. Severely.. Because my expectations were so high... Now that I know what it is and now that it's had a few months open in the bottle to evaporate... It's OK. But I still prefer Ardbeg.. Cause why drink something inferior..? But I forgive you Daniel.. You can't be perfect.... At least your better than Rex.. 😝

It's amazing that Islay differs so much between three distilleries that are less than a mile apart.

Ok, is it really a good thing for distillery to be so prolific in creating many lineups of non age statement whiak(e)ys? Or should there be a happy medium of NAS and age statements.

[@matheusgloria77]

Regarding the oiliness you guys were talking about in Ardbeg in coke vs Laphroaig in coke, and how Laphroaig doesn’t hold up as much. I think it’s due to Laphroaig being chill filtered

[@projecthunter2008]

It tastes like Latakia pipe tobacco, or dunhill mixture 965 pipe tobacco in both smell and taste. I might like Laphroaig 10 more if I paired it with that tobacco.

[@terrybull4604]

I'm hoping you review the "White Walker" scotch. Johnnie Walker partnered with HBO and Game of Thrones to make it. They are also making Game of Thrones Single Malts. "The eight additional whiskys are selected single malts, from Talisker to Cardhu to Lagavulin and more, dressed in house labels (and one, the Oban Bay Reserve, in a black bottle with Night’s Watch label) and with a range of prices. They’ll be released over the coming months." I'm nerding out over this.

QUESTion! Got my first bottle of laphroaig 10 about ten days ago. My first islay. About third day in I fell deep into the bottle. I blame the brine. It anchors to my soul like a charred taproot. Anywho, I've noticed the last few days with only a few inches left in the bottle that it tastes much different. Seems to lack in smoke from before, heck it kind of lacks everything. Is this normal for a nearly empty (but still rather new) bottle? Or maybe it's just me. Long explanation, short question. THANKS

[@jackforsey1622]

I personally drink alot of laphroig 10 (it's one of my faves) but I've never had that with a bottle tbh. Interesting. I might add maybe (just my 10cents worth ) after that initial 'wow' factor of the first few tastes of your first islay, your tastebuds adapt to it like they would with any whisky especially without a point of reference too. Say if you had a glass of laphroig 10, then went to something like Talisker then ardbeg and then back to that laphroig 10 I reckon that initial yes factor might be there again. Or at least not drinking the same thing over and over it would certainly make the tasting notes more pronounced. your taste buds adapt pretty dam quickly is what I'm trying to say. Whiskys do change as the bottle depletes too and the alcohol evaporates but yeah I always find laphroig 10 a staple. If it's your first islay I highly recommend lagavulin 16 or ardbeg 10 next.

[@calebmitchell4491]

I found out about 9 months ago that my wife was pregnant with a little girl. My wife is of Scottish descent (Campbell) and I am of Irish descent. We searched for a good, Scottish girls name and came up with Isla (for Islay) and Clare (for County Clare, Ireland). At her baby shower, I bought a bottle of Laphroaig Quarter Cask on your recommendation to share with the guys there and I’m hooked on Islay Whisky. One thing is, I don’t care for Lagavulin 16. All I taste is cheap barbecue sauce. I think it’s the relationship between the sherry and smoke. Is there any whiskey/whiskey that you want to love but you can’t get over a certain taste or aspect?

Awhile back I went to the liquor store to buy my friend a a bottle of scotch for his birthday. I had seen Dewars in his house, so I thought I'd buy him something different and blindly grabbed Laphroaig 10 because it said Scotch on it. I figured it would be an upgrade since it cost a little more than Dewars and he would really appreciate it, but I don't know Jack about scotch. We poured a couple of glasses and spent the rest of the night trying to figure out what happened to that bottle of scotch. The theories ranged from.."maybe it sat on the shelf too long" or, "maybe it got tampered with at the loading docks" to, "maybe a painter accidentally spilled turpentine into this vat back at the distillery." I still don't get it, but to each their own.

It's really funny how people get to know some drinks. I had never been a whiskey lover before and been more into the cocktails. One good day I tried a Piniciline cocktail and was overwhelmed by its incrediblly weird flavour (burnt wire? medicine? peat? crazy mixed shit?). So asked the barman to pour me some of that peat base which was then Ardbeg. Within the next weeks ended up in a Islay whisky fan club %) and finally fell in love with Laphroag. Well, even when your taste buds die away, you will still be able to TELL IT IS Laphroig.

Only watching in 2023 as just started into peated whisky. Initially was intimidated by Laphroaig/Ardberg due to the descriptions of smoky and campfire. But its great!

Laphroaig lore to me is what uigeadail is to ardbeg. It takes what I love about islay and blends it with a sherry note akin to Glenfarclas. What I#ve never gotten though is why ardbeg have the corryvreckan in their core range. To me that and uigeadail have always tasted awefully similar.

[@jumbowizard9154]

I just got into whisky and didn't realize until I tried Laphroaig 10 today, that I can't smell the smoky peat. Had COVID in 2020 and there's some stuff I still can't smell. But I do taste it. And I do understand that bandaid antiseptic description people give it. It's strange to be able to taste everything, but with this one all I can smell is alcohol. I don't hate it.

[@CheeseTaterson]

I'll have to try the Lore if I can ever find it here. I like the general "idea" that Laphroaig goes for flavor-wise; the bright smoke and sweetness (that didn't come from a special finish) are pretty unique. But I just can't get behind that suuuper-intense iodine on the finish (even if a lot of folks shit on me for considering that an "off note"). The Quarter-Cask is a huge step in the right direction, thinking the Lore might be the Laphroaig experience that's most right for me from what I'm hearing.
