Description

FULL DESCRIPTION
Laphroaig has been dividing opinions for over 200 years, just a quick visit to their website lets you know this as they openly embrace this fact. The smoke and iodine dominate this whisky as they use plenty of peat to dry their barley. Situated right on the shore, salty sea air permeates the production and ageing process. This all combines to give the whisky its trademark ‘band-aid’ note.

TASTING NOTES
Appearance: Rich straw.
Nose: Intense smoke, band-aids, iodine.
Taste: Light lemon citrus and a hint of green pear, dominated by smoke and salty maritime equipment.
Finish: Smoke dries out with umami seaweed notes.
Overall: Bold and intense, not a whisky youŐll soon forget.

Connoisseur

Well known for its tarry, creosote, peat flavours Laphroaig still malts a portion of its own barley on its own malting floors, as they believe their own kiln contributes more to help impart those characteristics. They take a deeper cut of the still run so they can hold on to more phenols. Mostly aged in ex-Bourbon.
