We've found ourselves haunted, as of late, by the terrifying suspicion that our beloved Laphroaig might be falling behind the quality offered by the likes of Ardbeg and Lagavulin.

#48 Can The Welsh Make Good Single Malt?... "What's the girth of the finish?"
The Welsh have been making a name for themselves in single malts with the brand Penderyn since the early 2000's. As a Celtic nation, it only seems fair to assume that they can work wonders on the whisky front but you know what they say about assumptions... so we had to give Penderyn a thorough once over.
