      Are Jack and Laphroaig on similar levels? I know import vs domestic drives the prices apart some, but I just assumed Jack was more like a “cheap top shelf”.

        Oh goodness me, no. Think Rose Art vs Crayola, respectively.

        They seem like different animals to me. I wouldn’t compare the two.

        I can’t speak of higher end Jack, but Laphroaig base is far better than Jack base.

          Yeah that’s been my experience, too, which is why the comment comparing the two confused me.

            Someone commented that it was the smell they were comparing… not the taste. I like peaty smell so didn’t make sense.

        Laphroaig is a punch you in the face level peaty/smokey Scotch

          It’s one of my favorites!

            I’d buy some but it’s likely to be 150% more expensive by the time I get to it.

            I wonder what happens to the US economy if many citizens stop making large or discretionary purchases.
