Laphroaig Scotch whisky has been dividing opinions since 1845, when Donald and Alexander Johnston first opened their distillery on the Isle of Islay. Its unique medicinal and smoky taste can be attributed to the island's peat. Rich in moss, lichen and heather, this peat is unlike anything found on the Scottish mainland. Good whisky needs good water, and the distillery has its own supply in the Kilbride stream which flows through the peat beds. It also needs experience, and with the wisdom of two centuries of craftsmanship, each expression of Laphroaig is a true masterpiece.
Tasting Notes
A nose of creme brulee, stewed rhubarb and apple with custard. Creamy soft fudge is followed by heather honey, freshly baked sourdough bread and a touch of briny sea spray. A gentle sherry influence with notes of fruit cake and subtle spice on the palate. The distinctive peat smoke reveals savoury flavors of smoked ham, cured mackerel and herbal, grassy smoke to finish. A splash of water brings forward more prominent notes of peat smoke.
