Great Scotch! It's another bottling of Laphroaig single malt Scotch whisky, independently bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company! Not only that, this is bottle number one from the batch of 20-year-old single malt – the very first to be filled, and highly collectible.
Batch 6 is a release of 490 bottles and this is bottle #1!
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
That Boutique-y Whisky Company bottles limited edition whiskies from a variety of renowned distilleries as well as producing award-winning blends. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels.
Sea breeze, bonfire embers, and freshly pressed cider notes make way for roasted malt, chestnut, and espresso elements. There’s a juicy array of sherry-soaked dried fruit throughout. TCP and minty herbs form the backdrop.
Red apples, heather honey, and nutty chocolate bring a complex sweetness that balances touches of dried kelp, soy sauce, and rancio. Cinnamon and black pepper bring heat and spice. Medicinal peat and hot flashes of spearmint form underneath.
A blend of soot, rock pool, and tinned fruit shines in a long and satisfying finish.
The cask and distillate both show beautifully here. Pure class.
