This whisky pours a medium gold with campfire smoke on the nose. The flavor is peat forward and with a fresh bottle, medicinal & herbal flavors dance with the smoke to add a complexity unlike anything else. I've noticed as the bottle sits in the cabinet, the greener flavors disappear and this just becomes a smoke bomb. This was my first single malt and I fell in love which makes this a whisky that you either love or hate, no matter what your level of experience may be. I resist giving it a perfect 100 out of inexperience.

Welcome to the site Jordan, brave decision to jump in with Laphroaig 10 as first single malt, took me a while to brave Islay peated style but loved it off the bat.
If you can get your hands on the Quarter Cask it is well worth a try, I find it has a bit more depth and complexity than the 10.
