Laphroag 25YO 2016 (700ml)
A direct import of the 2016 bottling of Laphroaig's natural strength 25 YO, matured in both Oloroso and American oak casks. Jim Murray is in raptures over this declaring it one of the finest examples he's ever experienced.
This uncommonly exquisite 25 year old liquid is a non-chill filtered marriage of sherried, oaky flavours from second fill European Oak Oloroso sherry casks with sweet vanilla notes from American white oak bourbon barrels, bottled at casks strength. Laphroiag 25 Year Old is one of the most unique of all malt whiskies. The exceptional character of this expression makes this a whisky truly worth savouring.
Sweet vanilla and wood spice, smoke and TCP, though restrained, some smoked bacon, with underlying dried fruit added to the mix. Palate is very creamy and rich, with a full texture, peppery, spicy, iodine, saline and smokiness. There's also a little green apple fruit. Very long and layered finish, with waves of rich smoke and a peppery conclusion.
