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!
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.
Very rounded and thick. Golden Syrup? Salt spray, fiery wood spices, dark and brooding peat, star anise, dark chocolate and stewed prunes.
Very long, with liquorice, Seville orange marmalade, salty butter and kippers.

Without getting into details...cannot get better than this! The most impressive aged whisky from Islay that I have had!
One of the best single malts I've ever had the pleasure to know...sure wish I would have stockpiled this stuff when it was available! If you can still find it (good luck), do yourself a favor and GET IT - this is one of those rare gems that must be tried to understand, words do her no justice...
To the reviewer below, do yourself a favour and enjoy that bottle. This is one of the best whiskies in my bar. Fortunately I heard in time it was to be discontinued, so I stocked up on two dozen. But not planning on selling any of them. Just want to be sure I can open one each year for the next 24 years.
Wish I could review, but I bought one of the last bottles I've seen of this and don't plan on opening it. Hopefully it will make me some money down the road! Wish I found a 2nd one though... would love to try it.
Påtaglig doft utav rök samt tjära, inslag av citrus samt något otydligare andra fruktdofter med päron bland annat och återigen tydlig doft av vaniljstång som kommer mot slutet. Jag tycker man behöver lite vatten till denna för att få ut det mesta men jag tycker ändå inte den är värd de extra pengarna jämte laphroaig 10.
