Laphroaig single malt from Islay aged for three decades! Distilled in 1985, twice matured in bourbon casks, and released in 2016, expect this peated whisky to be complex, rounded and absolutely full of flavour.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Mandarin and mango rise to the fore tempered by toasted almond and coconut. Aromatic peat oils are interwoven, appearing as cedar, wintergreen and smoked sage.
A superbly oily mouth feel with orange peel, vanilla and coriander leaf, in a cedar cigar box alongside wild root ginseng.
Long and complex with lingering pulpy stone fruit and chewy green hand-rolled tobacco.

A good friend who has stored this for 15 years and did not drink much Scotch anymore knew my friend and I would savor this dram after we tried some in the last year. OMG, so on New Years he brings it out and says it would give him great pleasure watching us enjoy it all night........and did we ever. I could have nosed its sweet smoke all night and been happy, but a sip of explosion greeted us for four hours with the slowest, most well balanced finish ever from an Islay Whiskey. The smoke and toffee linger for a half hour, but alas, couldn't wait to usurp it with yet another drip of perfection. My beautiful wife had to share the night with this seductress until the last drop had fallen from the glass.
