On this episode of Character Proof, host Tim Fulton tackles a Scotch that tastes less like a beverage and more like a tire fire at a dentist's office: Laphroaig 10. Once the iodine and campfire smoke clear, Tim conducts a thorough psychological autopsy on its primary consumer.

Meet Simon: a 34-year-old UX designer who treats drinking peated single malt as an Olympic sport of existential endurance. If you've ever met a man who lectures his hostage house guests on "terroir" while wearing a beanie indoors at 72 degrees, this episode is a direct attack on his entire lifestyle.

Pour yourself a glass of liquid asphalt and join us for a heavy dose of peat, pretension, and pure judgment.
