Awesome. If you're looking for just a great single malt they also have the Classic Bruichladdich on sale for £35 with Clubcard atm. Swooped to my local and brought a few bottles myself last weekend
Edit: Just had a look online and looks as though they've stopped that now, though may be different in store...
I just finished a bottle of the Classic, first time I've tried it, and I'll definitely be trying it again, really enjoyed it.
I just have the urge to challenge my taste buds at the minute, I nearly always go for the safe sherried option, so a little bit of peat sounds like a plan.
There are Port Charlotte 10yr olds which include some ex sherry casks along with wine and bourbon, but I think that may only be those in the special edition line (the standard 10 is ex bourbon and wine casks).I just finished a bottle of the Classic, first time I've tried it, and I'll definitely be trying it again, really enjoyed it.

After 1 or 2 (or maybe 5!) wee glasses of the Laphroaig last night, it's either nothing like I remember it from many moons ago, or my taste buds have drastically changed.
I really like it, and I really hated it first time around, tried it neat, with a few drops of water, and accidentally with quite a bit of water, and I prefer it neat.
The only peated whiskies I've got to compare it to are the Ardbeg 10 and the Caol Ila 12, and I prefer it to both, very impressed for the price.
How much to do they charge for a dram?
Was it the 10 year old standard or cask strength? I tend to hear good things about the CS over the standard, but I can't recall my own taste preferences now.After 1 or 2 (or maybe 5!) wee glasses of the Laphroaig last night, it's either nothing like I remember it from many moons ago, or my taste buds have drastically changed.

Oh totally agreed, £20 on 35 mL is cheaper than £30 on 700 mL of something you don't like!
I'm not sure I've ever seen CS in the supermarkets, but I could be wrong. The Select is everywhere, I've not tried it, but that's only because the reviews of it seem to be rather against it when compared to the 10 in any form and the QC!
Loving my Laphroaig 10 CS, it's an absolute powerhouse. I have a bottle of lore unopened so will have do so a side by side review soon.
That sounds cracking. I have not yet blended my own, but very much enjoy having at least two glasses of different stuff on the go at once to switch between.
I'd find it hard paying that when it used to be £25 on there, admittedly on offer. Fortunately still have a bottle left!
That's interesting, I'd describe it as nice, not amazing and not offensive. I'd happily drink it as it is and not complain, what aspect of it can't you stand?
I think QC at £24 from amazon was my 3rd ever bottle. Melted my face compared to the JW black and Aberlour 12y I'd had before! Took me about a year to drink I think, but now I'd count Laphroaig as one of my favourites.
