“A dram with a peppery punch in the end, but before that it's mellow baked in a relatively light smoke with a lovely maturity and sweetness. Haha... Lucky me. I found this in a bar at Stockholm Arlanda Airport yesterday. My flight was delayed with ten minutes, and I used those minutes very well. No doubt... This is a really good whisky. Discontinued..? Well... Things change. Yes, they change...”

Description

An older style bottling of Laphroaig's 18 year old single malt Scotch whisky, boasting a neat label and presentation tube. This livery existed between 2013 and 2016 when the 18 year old was discontinued. This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

Very big. This is a beast of a whisky, with a breakfast character (granary toast, salty butter, a touch of orange juice and coffee). After a while of nosing it you’ll start to get banana loaf, developing alongside the applewood smoke, perhaps even cocoa too.

Palate

Very rounded and thick. Golden Syrup? Salt spray, fiery wood spices, dark and brooding peat, star anise, dark chocolate and stewed prunes.

Finish

Very long, with liquorice, Seville orange marmalade, salty butter and kippers.
