Tastes

Beautiful honey notes and a smooth mouthfeel are tainted by the ethanol pop and a slightly bitter wood note. Sometimes those ethanol notes will go away with more exposure to air (looking at you--Crown Royal Barley malt), so fingers crossed this improves to 4 star land.

Laphroaig experimented with a new, longer fermentation process (almost tripled the normal time) and created a super whiskey of effervescent and smooth cask strength with those maritime smoky and fruity flavors and waves of honey. You'll never guess its 119 abv. More distilleries should take note...

Elegant, deep vanilla notes and a wonderful mouthfeel (yes, it is smooth for the 52 abv) make this my favorite 2xo yet...

A great malt for the price. So smooth.
