Laphroaig 40

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 42.4%

Score: 96 Points

The nose on this cask-strength Laphroaig is clean and smooth with muted peat, heather, gorse, and hints of brine. The taste is peaty and bold with smoke and fire that fades to ash with hints of caramel. The finish is lingering and ashy with touches of smoke and salt water. Outstanding!
