I am holding in my hands a bottle of 15-year-old Laphroaig, which I bought
last week for $30 at a nearby liquor store. It is not the 12-year-old, not
the prime malt, not the 10-year-old. It is exactly what I said it was in the
original posting, namely 15 years old. I think I'll have a shot of it right
now. Ah, wow! Rich, peaty, almost floral nose. Much more refined flavor than
the regular Laphroaig, and less peaty than the Prime Malt. You can really
taste the wood, and aren't knocked out by the peat.  Don't get me wrong--I
absolutely love the Prime Malt--but this is a more dignified and complex
whisky.
