Laphroaig 10 Year Old Sherry Oak Finish 70cl Whisky

“Standard Laphroaig always reminds me initially of the flavour of water from a swimming pool or being beaten about the head with clumps of seaweed to get to the peaty essence. But this Sherry Oak Finish, my dear friends is indeed the dog's bollocks. Imagine liquidised chocolate and cherry cake with sultanas behind rampaging down your throat and suddenly order is ensured by the clinical steel of oak shavings, and then someone dips an eclair in a half pint of sherry and shoves it into your mouth while shrieking maniacally. You feel you might be in sudden state of total sensory breakdown when a lonely cellist send strains of divine music from the hills just over there where the wee burn tinkles down the valley. You feel an immense sense of peace enter your heart and say to yourself-"Aye a wee drop of watter might nay go amiss here laddie." Buy it. Drink it and may your heart sing as the cellist is joined by a flamenco guitarist!”
