Laphroaig 8

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Douglas Laing & Co.

ABV: 46%

Score: 88 Points

This is a young and feisty Laphroaig, and the nose has the classic Laphroaig notes of peat, brine, seaweed, and tar. The taste is peaty and vibrant, heathery and sweet, and the finish is smoky and lingering.
