The Single Malts of Scotland Reserve Casks 7 Year Old Laphroaig

A batch of three ex-Bourbon hogsheads from the Laphroaig distillery has been used to create this single malt, distilled in 2014 and aged for more than 7 years. Smoky and pleasantly herbaceous, this is a Laphroaig which entices from the first sip. Bottled exclusively for the USA.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: Charred wood smoke drifts towards the senses, mingling with delightful melting caramel. Crushed nuts appear, sprinkled on maple-syrup-coated bacon.

Palate: Somewhat vegetal and herbaceous initially: notes of thyme, sage, and rosemary meld with black peppercorns, agave nectar, and hints of licorice boiled sweets.

Finish: Leaves a lingering impression of smoke and menthol.
