      Got a sample and I won't be able to fully get into this one, but I'll start my notes here. Nose - What in the HELL? Blasts me with alcohol, red wine, medicinal, funky...weird...rotting fruits? What in the world? As it opens distinct oloroso starts to come out, still, this medicinal funk and smoke is permeating from the glass. This is about as aromatic as any whisky has ever been. This is SHOCKINGLY bold on the nose. There isn't even 1/4 oz of whisky in this glass. A few more minutes later and smoked vanilla, ash, and freshly burned light oak. Lovely , classic Laphroaig has escaped these crazy sherry casks. Taste - Mineral lemon/lime, smoked to hell in the glass. Transitioning to the most perfect smoked lime funk. This is the 25 turned up on the linger, turned up on the smoke, and just rich. Now where is that sherry? Oh yeah it's there up front. More red fruit forward, perhaps a hint of chocolate ever so subtle, but it's there. Oh god....mint huge mint. I need more time with this but for now 4.25. Amazing well aged Laphroaig with a mouth and body that rivals anything. The real show piece is that mineral laphroiag lemon lime thing. It's so much more chalky mineral than most. Unbelievable punch of flavor.

      I am proud to announce that i have tasted a glass of the almighty Laphroaig 32yo. I didn't want to read anything about it before, i went into a whisky bar, found it and asked for a neat pour of this baby. And my first reaction when i nosed it was: "this is not Laphroaig". Lol. This bottle is one of the only 5.880 that were ever made for the 200th anniversary of Laphroaig in 2015. That means that the youngest drop of whisky was distilled in 1983, the year i was born. Bottled at 46.6%, tawny color. On the nose... is this a Laphroaig? It was super sweet on the first nosing, then i grabbed the bottle and saw it: matured in First Filled Oloroso Sherry Casks. The experience was about to become even better. Caramelized oranges, Cherry syurp, Green apples with a Cigarrete. Herbal notes rising, grass with caramel. After a first sip it gave me an aroma of a pair of socks and oranges. Its like having toffee caramel in a pond. On the palate, it is an elegant Laphroaig, no doubt about it. The first tasting note is that typical moss from Laphroaig. The sherriness explodes 3 seconds later: Red fruits with Medicinal notes. A second sip gave me orange peel, a mild elegant spiciness. You can hold it in your palate forever. More sips released a maritime feeling. Aftertaste is where it said: "here comes the Laphroaig perfection". Medicinal notes, Plastic, a fresh can of Tennis balls. Super dry and very elegant. There is a fancy spiciness. Detergent, pond. Amazing stuff. I even got cigarrettes and a maritime note. Its a very well rounded peaty finish. Long lasting. Overall, this whisky is a jewel. I don't think it is perfect, but it gets close to my all time favorites. The aftertaste was sublime, and scored all the points, and definitively is something worth trying. The price tag is very high (1.100ish) and since i am not a wealthy man i will always say that no whisky is worth that much, but, it is not a steal of money if you have paid for the whole bottle, since it is very good. My score for it is a solid 95 over 100. Sláinte!

      Very long lasting and prominent smoky and sherry ash flavor with subtle hints of dark cocoa having extremely velvety rich mouth-feel. Every sip leaves you wanting more.
