“I enjoyed the complex nose for a good 10 minutes before even tasting. SO much going on with this one. Very rich and multitudinous flavours. Immensely enjoyable. One of my top five currently.”

Created by Laphroaig Master Distiller John Campbell, it's bottled at 51.4% abv.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed info and/or photos just get in touch!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Banana, honey and some Marmite-y yeast notes. There's a heap of brown sugar in here too as well as peaty porridge and a little dried papaya.
Palate
Bacon, dates, a bit more yeast and well-barbecued apple slices.
Finish
Some kind of salted barbecued goods (not my Mastermind subject).
Overall
Breakfast whisky, only the breakfast is a bit all over the place. It's many breakfasts at once really, which, as it's a whisky not a breakfast, might actually be fine?
