Tasting Notes

air Nose

pah-pah-pah-pah-pah… Eating passion fruits and mangos on an old stove while smoking a Cuban puro. It’s this style that made us all Laphroaig lovers. It’s simply extraordinary and emblematic of that era when Bowmore and Laphroaig used to rule Islay – as far as malt whisky’s concerned, of course

restaurant Palate

silly me, what a mistake to have had this baby before newer bottlings! It’s just that at this relatively low strength of 90proof/45% vol., I had though we should have it before the CS and/or wine-doped versions. Excuse me? The whisky? Well, it’s as brilliant as peaty whisky can get. Smoked passion fruits, ashy mangos, salted grapefruits and all that. Please call the anti-maltoporn brigade!

timer Finish

long, and more peppery than expected. Wonderful ‘tropical’ signature
