Tasting Notes

"Fact: the best pieces of movie popcorn are the half-popped, slightly burnt kernels at the bottom of the bucket, and that is exactly what this whisky initially smells and tastes like. Perhaps a flask of Port or PX sherry was brought along, because the buttery, charred popcorn takes on a brambly/berry compote flavor, with a hint of cherry cough lozenge, roasted almonds, clove, cinnamon, black pepper, and a waft of drying sea weed. Fans of Laphroaig will appreciate that the typical phroaig-iness is very much present, just with some fun new flavor profiles to savor, and a pleasingly long finish with only a slight burn despite the proof.
