Laphroaig The 1815 Legacy Edition

Good. Not great.

Peat, sweet

This is a fine Laphroaig with an extraordinary aftertaste. That is the best description i can give to it. I don't believe it is the best laphroaig there is, it is not even close to that, but the aftertaste is really remarkable. Its name legacy is really a tribute to all the workers of the distillery who work hard for us to get fine whiskies. Bottled at 48%abv On the nose: Raisins. Peat is so powerful yet so pleasant. Acetone. Vanilla dry cake and Some red fruits. Nice. On the palate: peat. But that kind of artificial, sulphuric, plastic peat from Laphroaig. Aftertaste is just wonderful: Spice bomb. Wasabi, Pepper, A ghostly dried fruit like raisins; very Astringent. There is definitively some sherry influence here, i really think this is a good dram, but since everything that Laphroaig does is good, i believe there are better expressions out there. 90/100.

This is very evidently a Laphroaig. It has that typical TCP, medicinal taste up front, but it’s sweeter and smokier than the standard 10/yo. This tastes to me almost like a dry, smoky bourbon. Laphroaig is my ‘go to’ dram and this is a welcome addition to the range - very tasty!
