Laphroaig An Cuan Mór

You know what would make this better? Not having it forcibly at 6am in Newark Airport. Okay, so---it's Monday morning and I was to catch a flight from EWR to PHX. I took this sample generously provided by Richard@moderndrinking, thinking that I'll have it after a long day in Phoenix in my hotel room. I even put it in its own ziplock bag. Ms. TSA then pulls me aside after scanning my bag, and tell me I can't bring this with me. "But why, I'm carrying bigger liquids like a shaving cream and cologne. Why not this?" Nope...there's no reasoning. But I'd be damned if my Laphroaig was to be destined forever in the bottom of some TSA bin. I stepped out of line, went to a bar, asked for a glass with a sliver of water. And thoroughly enjoyed this fine piece of artistry. Classic Laphroaig, but less punch in the face, some dates and figs, with some astringency at the end. I need to pick up a bottle. Thanks for the sample Richard!

Zeer fijne smokey whisky, niet te extreem en met zijn 48% nog aardig zacht.
