What's in a name? Laphroaig 15 Year Old whisky is called whisky because it's produced in Scotland. Were it from America it would be spelled Laphroaig 15 Year Old whiskey, rather than whisky.
A heavily peated nose of tar, iodine and notes of creosote. Some fruit gives way to delicate whirls of smoke, very full in body. The palate is, at first, smoky and medicinal, well-rounded and rich, but still soft. Sweetness creeps onto the fore followed by a belt of peat and a touch of malt. The finish is very well-balanced and smoky.

a peated king
One of the best I never tried. Peated, but with balance, this older version is better than the 10 years old.
