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.

At least I think so.
very smokey and overpowering.... Gave it away.... I can not drink it...,sorry... Very overrated ...
I love that guy, whoever he/she is. That aside, the 18 is wonderful stuff. so much going on, so well balanced. Lightyears away from the quarter cask, which is like comparing Century Sam's to Padron Cigars.
For many years now I have taken whisky with my Dr Peppers. I find this a great mixed combo and have always enjoyed them together. However I have to say that Laphroaig 18 does not work with Dr Peppers and at this price I am really disappointed.
Just had my first dram of this after prolly a nearly 1/2 a year after tasting the quarter cask. Its thunderin and rainin and lightning outside and all of that settled into my dram. I might just take it to bed just to hug it all night. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. I dunno which ta choose. Laga 16 or Laph 18 - both are just great. Im happy :-)
