I was expecting big things from this and while it was a very tasty pour it lacked a certain something. Definitely no regrets with the purchase but given what I’d read re. this malt I was prepared to be wowed. The extra 5 years in cask certainly mellow out that classic Laphroaig flavor. It’s a tasty dram for certain and worth checking out if you get a chance, just don’t expect a world beater.
