Scotch in not for everyone. A longtime friend treats me to some great bourbons but he thinks Scotch is like medicine. More for me! 

If someone gave you a dram of Laphroaig knowing that you're not a scotch drinker then he's an asshole, that seems to be an odd choice to go out and buy without trying it first though, did someone recommend it? That's a polarizing drink for many who actually *do* enjoy scotch. It's a peat monster and I would have been surprised if you *did* like it.

Thanks for introducing this spirit. Where can we but it?

Just tried some Elmer T Lee I happened to run across at a local store. A little heavy on the caramel and oak for me. Not really a lot of depth or complexity here. Thought maybe Weller's Special Reserve would be close so I brought that out. Nope, it's more one dimensional with heavy corn mash and much more bitterness. Both have a lingering alcohol bitterness on my palate and back of throat though that maybe ties to what I had for lunch. Will try the Elmer directly against just Woodford Reserve later to see how it compares.

So far I like my Booker's more and my Blanton's cask strength more than it. Can't say I'd buy another bottle of Elmer T Lee at this point. It's okay and seems to match its price point interesting enough.
