I think that Oban had a soapy taste for me that I didn't like. Laphroaig used to be my go-to, since I'm poor, but it's gotten steadily more expensive for even the cheapest interations. Now I mostly drink Costco's Kirkland blended, or bourbon. :/

Hey, you've found what's good for you :) I did sample the Oban and it was nice, but not at the price they were hawking it at. My current overall favourite is probably a tossup between the Laphroaig Cairdeas I got in 2017 (I think? I'm a bit fuzzy) and a 12-year non-chill-filtered Aberlour... which are such different taste profiles as to be practically incomparable :D Everyone has different tastes, so... going back to the thread starter, let's celebrate different tastes.
