Price: £46.94
55.7%vol - 70cl
Taste guide: 10up
Awarded Best Single Malt in the World in 2005 by Whisky Magazine, Original Cask Strength Laphroaig is bottled at natural distillery strength with all the depth of genuine taste and texture normally associated with sampling whisky at source.
Laphroaig is matured in seasoned oak barrels, charred before filling to impart a slight sweet vanilla nuttiness. Original Cask Strength Laphroaig is barrier-filtered only just, to remove the small char particles present. This means you will enjoy Laphroaig exactly as it is made. In extremes of temperature and when you add water it may appear a little cloudy - this is the natural condition of a malt of such a peaty pungence and uncompromising purity.
Adding a little water releases a rich aroma of peat smoke with some sweetness and strong hints of the sea.
Tasting Notes:
Colour: Rich deep gold
Nose: Very powerful, "medicine", smoke, seaweed and ozone characters overlaying a sweetness
Body: Full and strong
Palate: A massive peated burst of flavour with hints of sweetness at the end
Finish: Long and savoury
