Released in 2004, this bottling was aged for around five years before being finished in a quarter cask for several months, the size of the cask is quite small, thus does not require such a long maturation. This remains a truly great achievement from Laphroaig.
Oily and buttery nose, with toffee, nuttiness, hickory, bicarbonate of soda, rum and raisin ice cream and zest.
Big rush of sweetness, in fact it’s an explosion of sweetness, with fiery chilli heat, TCP, sweet cereals and a touch of cola syrup.
Medium-length, but becomes fruity, with custard and cigar smoke.
Great single Malt hints of smokey peat my favourite but not liked by my friends hard to find anybody that it appeals too, but I think it fabulous. if your favourite please tell me? Regards Myles Roy-Goldman
I first tried the cask strength while in Edinburgh in 2009 and fell in love with it, this quarter cask is even better, perfect balanced flavor that isn't overpowering and requires no water.
Tastes a bit like methol
it's my favorite dram,but i never say no against ardbegg & octomore
I always keep coming back to this almost perfect whisky.
