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.
Let me know what you guys think but this is my favorite Laphroaig for sure
Why are they still adding caramel, can anyone tell me? Even the older bottles. They declare it in German on the packaging, I see. x
Knocked back full strength, it will burn you...It's hard to savor a mouthful of fire..But cut with just a squirt of club soda it's delightful. All of the distillers are playing games with proof and age, read the label before you put your money down. Laphroaig is Laphroaig. Enjoy it...
Paladar delicado, retrogust feroz! Ampliamente recomendado.
The Mcclellands is ok and I want to like it at half price. But I just had a dram of Mcclellands followed by a dram of Laphroaig QC. Laphroaig is the real thing. It is so complex. The flavor is so great and changes bringing out subtleties. This is not a one dimensional drink. All of the flavors that come about are perfection.
