Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
starts very maritime and very interestingly fruity. Lots of gooseberries, strawberries and kiwis and a much lower peat level than in most young Laphroaigs. Feels like if the peat was here just to season a fruit salad. It gets then stony, flinty, with also notes of marshmallows. Very unusual, very interesting. It seems that our friends at The Whisky Fair make it a point of honour to select unusual, yet very good casks and I say that’s a brilliant idea, congrats
restaurant Palate
it’s all in keeping with the nose at first sip except that the peat arrives in full glory after just a few seconds. Much more classical in fact, quite medicinal and maritime, with also notes of walnut skin, white pepper and smoked tea. Classic but excellent, especially when considering its young age. The finish is long, full, compact, very ‘Laphroaig’ now. A speedy maturing (so it wasn’t on Islay, was it?) and an excellent result. 90 points . Laphroaig 12 yo 1993 ‘Hebridean Light’ (54.5%, Art of Whisky, cask #2433)
