Description

A limited edition Laphroaig 18 Year Old single malt, released to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 2012. Part of a release of just 3,000 bottles, the distillery donated £3,000 from the sales of this bottling to the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust which helps young craftsmen.

These bottles were part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!

Nose

At bottling strength, a soft toffee sweet but faintly spicy flavour counterbalances the trace of delicate phenols and fruit. An all encompassing smoothness brings these together. A touch of water allows the seaweed and salt to come through but not enough to overpower the vanilla and honey sweetness with just a trace of new mown hay and peat at the finish.

Palate

An instant warming tang of smoke fades into smooth floral scents, which blends seamlessly into an oaky nuttiness and leaves a lasting sweetness on the taste. With a touch of water, the peaty warmth fills the mouth but does not overshadow the sweet chocolate smoothness. This is balanced by the rich toffee taste and slowly fades into a delicate hint of heather and peat smoke.

Finish

Full bodied, long with a luxurious oily smoothness.

Overall

Delicious peaty goodness.

Acceptable with whisky stone

Very peaty, very spicy, light salt, faint sweetness , abit of oak. Overall too spicy for me! Using whisky stone helped alot on lowering the spicyness.

A collectors' item.

If you wish to drink this excellent tipple,save yourself £9 by simply buying the usual 18 years old. It is exactly the same whisky. The extra cash is for the Jubilee Carton limited edition packaging. Still, good for collecting should you want to keep it intact.
