I'm finally getting around to reviewing this bottle after it has been open for over a decade so YMMV. This is really enjoyable bringing subtle smokiness on the front end that opens up into a rich whiskey. Iodine, maybe a little band-aid, and a touch of brininess, this Scotch will stand out in your collection even if you're an Islay enthusiast. I love the proof point at 96 and would love to see an example at around 110, this is non-chill filtered and the mouthfeel benefits from this. This is non age-stated, but I would guess between 12 to 15 if I was tasting this blind. I will continue to explore the Laphroaig lineup, but I think this may get repurchased when this bottle is gone.
