Birthday Islay Tasting

[Colin]

Try adding a spalsh of cool spring water to the Lapgroig, I find that just a splash takes the initial rush down just enough to not overpower the palate.

I agree. Of course I also usually make any Islay malt my second dram and not my first. Try having a highland malt to start and than finish with a Laphroaig. It's a great combo and takes some of the whisky bite away before you get rushed with all the peat and flavour of an Islay.
