Laphroaig 12yo 1998-2011 57.2% James MacArthur's Old Masters cask#700233


A young Laphroaig from a bourbon barrel, that sounds good in my ears. What? Bottled at cask strength as well? And bottled by James MacArthur's you say? Now that my expectations have gone through the roof, I will pour myself a glass and try to be as objective as possible. The color is light golden. It smells medicinal, tarry, camphor, peat smoke, burnt rubber, ashes, well living up to my expectations. Classic Laphroaig style! The taste is tarry, iodine, peat smoke upon peat smoke and even more peat smoke. For Laphroaig purists. The finish is long on vanilla, peat and black pepper.

After this you will taste little but peat for the next hours: 7



Next tasting: More Laphroaig
