Laphroaig
Hunter Laing & Co Ltd Old Malt Cask Laphroaig 1996 (17 year old) 50%
Bourbon
Code: OMC2347
Dist: Oct 1997 Btl: Jan 2014
Tasted: Feb 2014
The nose is extremely sweet and estery. I know ‘phroaig can be a bit of a sweetie art times but I’ve never come across so much squashed pineapple, apricot and banana before. Lightly medicinal, lightly smoked and lightly peated with just a touch of coastal astringency. A lovely rounded nose with the peat locked inside the sweet malt.
The palate is a little shy to begin with, opening with some sweet barley and subtler fruit. It starts to get into its stride as the light medicinal peat and coastal notes arrive. Lovely length with a sweet fruit and barley fade accented with camphor and bog myrtle. It may take a little while to get going but when it does it becomes beautifully rounded.
