A half bottle of the iconic, medicinal 10 year Islay's bestselling distillery, Laphroaig. This is a massive, punchy dram, it is said the medicinal character is from the high moss content in the peat.
Tasted by us with Laphroaig's Distillery Manager, John Campbell Nose: This opens on big, smoky muscular peat notes. There are spices, and liquorice, as well as a big dose of salt. This whisky has become slightly sweeter in recent years, and it beautifully on the nose, amidst the classic iodine/sticking plasters and cool wood smoke we love. Palate: Seaweed-led, with a hint of vanilla ice cream and more than a whiff of notes from the First Aid box (TCP, plasters etc). The oak is big, and muscles its way into the fore as you hold this whisky over your tongue. An upsurge of spices develop – cardamom/black pepper/chilli. Finish: Big and drying, as the savoury, tarry notes build up with an iodine complexity. Overall: The only malt from Laphroaig’s range that John Campbell recommends with water; try it, it opens up the palate massively, providing a dazzling array of additional flavours…

Sometimes you taste an over the top peaty and smokey flavored dram and sometimes you taste the wonderful sweetness, citrus and and bold flavors of a 10 year old legend. Only you can decide with each sip. Magnificent.

The Islay benchmark, not the outright best, but hard to beat at the price. The whisky equivalent of sitting in front of a roaring fire with your slippers on and your faithful hound at your side.It's not subtle, it's mainly for when you need a smoky hug.

A slow taste that fills the a cold dark winters night with warm and promise. A drink to be enjoyed on your own or with good friends. Hmmm

I like to drink this particular Whisky in the depths of winter in front of a hot fire on a lazy day, beautiful strong peaty taste.Also good in whisky beans make your own or open a tin of baked beans and add a good double of this, seriously try it.

This is my first introduction to islay whisky. I must say I love this whisky like a whole new experience of a different spirit almost. But might not be to everyone's liking very intense peat smell and rich taste lovely.
