Product Description
A vibrant young Laphroaig whose maturation has been accelerated by ageing in quarter casks. This shows soft sweetness and a velvety feel when first tasted, then the intense peatiness so unique to Laphroaig comes bursting through. A terrific whisky and great value.

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes by Dr. Whisky
Seductive smells. Ripe, new-make barley sweetness. A barbecue. A flower. A sooty chimney. A horse. A can of condensed milk. A slice of apple and a piece of Gouda. An amazingly tactile nose, if that makes sense; the aromas seem to make physical contact, they touch me.
Oak. Fruit. Grandparents' musty apartments. Soft impact that is very sensual and easy at the higher-than-normal abv%. Toffee and stubbed cigarettes. Nutty cheesiness. Slow arrival of a huge peaty impact and a cloud of smoke. Smoky finish with biscuity chewiness hanging around.
SUMMARY: An absolute treat to drink. Full-on and not for every mood, but hearty as a good stew. A sweeter, softer, friendlier Laphroaig that still manages to fill every corner of the house of your senses with the medicinal peatiness in ways that only Laphroaig can. And should. And does.
Tasting Notes by TF
Nose
Powerful smoke, sweet malt, wet turf, coal. Develops chocolate & cinnamon.
Palate
Full-bodied, rich and mouth-coating. Delicious sweet gristy malt and rich peat, woodsmoke. The coal appears mid-palate.
Finish
Very long, sweet and smoky, with the coal lingering longest.
Comment
A belter. Denser and deeper than the 10 yr-old. Very more-ish.

A great toasting Scotch. very sweetly and smoked, I love it
Fresh hot tarmac on the approach, with a lasting lick of honey. Will that do? Hope that doesn't sound like I'm showing off. Pure pleasure.
Well this is brilliant. As much as I like the 10 year old this kind of blows it away. The extra 8 percent ABV has a huge effect. the quarter cask effect adds a definite sweetness and maturity thats not evident in the 10.
This is great value £2.50 more than the 10 yr which is 40%. IMO to good not to buy. TWE packers love always.
It's a great example of why islay is my personal favorite region for scotch whisky
