bang bang! It’s this perfect kind of match between peat and oloroso indeed, you know, that third dimension of whisky that’s so miraculous when it works. Now, you have to like whisky that’s extremely gamy and flinty, immensely earthy and tremendously leafy. The notes of bitter chocolate, old rancio, old walnuts and old leather are fantastic, and so are all the cigars, chips of cedar wood and dried mushrooms that were infused in this whisky. What, that’s not how they did it? Enough said
restaurant Palate
plain and simple, please call the anti-maltoporn brigade right now. Seriously, it’s no classic, explosive or ‘very biggish’ sherry and peat monster such as, say the famous Caol Ila Manager’s Dram or some old sherried Port Ellens by James MacArthur, or such as the more recent Lagavulin 21 (just to give you a few examples), and it’s not even very complex, but the balance between the sherry and the peat is just perfect. It’s no whisky, it’s a tightrope walker
timer Finish
dry as long as a day without bread as we say over here (or as a speech by Fidel Castro as they say over there) but certainly less boring. I love these notes of smoky blackcurrants in the aftertaste, as well as the Laphroaiggy signature: a few drops of cough syrup
