Laughfrog NAS 40% Select Drams

Okay, first of all, when I purchased this whisky I was sure it had to be some sort of funky name playing on vocal similarity of a distillery, let's say Laphroaig? See the similarity in pronounciation? The label bears the picture of a smiling frog. Is that a Laughfrog? What is a Laughfrog??? I cannot see why anyone would name a single malt bottling that if it weren't an indication on the content at some level. But the label also states "Single Highland Malt".. So I'm confused of what to expect. The color is light golden. Smells a wee bit peat, but not enough to judge on origin. The taste is more on the peaty style, not far from the 10yo. Now I'm sure this must be a well hidden, light, fruity, salty, medicinal, iodine Laphroaig. Classic Islay style, but with the low %abv. it is not as interesting as I maybe could have hoped.

Smooth Islay characteristics with some iodine, I like it, a nice surprise: 7
