Laphroaig 25 YO, Cask Strength

Jens Wedin — Sun, 17 May 2009 20:29:58 +0000

This is a new cask-strength bottling of Laphroaig 25yo. The whisky is a very different beast to the old 25yo. It has a rich and smouldering taste, with a big coal hit and a lingering seaweed character. Lovely stuff

This whisky is fully matured in Madeira wood and is a new release from Springbank. It is matured in Madeira Wood for 11 years and bottled in January 2009. Rich, sweet, spicy. One of the big hits at 2009 year’s Whisky Live in Glasgow.

Dalwhinnie 15 Years

Strikingly clean flavours. Salt and malt in the nose. Clear Highland malt character with subtle peatiness. Aromatic. Delicately spicy. Unshakeable grass– and grain-type vegetative associations: cut grass, wheat, fields of grain. Refreshing.

A good introduction to the delights of single malt whisky — elegant, smooth and medium-bodied with a light, fruity palate and a whiff of heather on the finish. Part of Diageo’s Classic Malt range.

Clynelish 14 Years

A delightfully complex spicy and perfumed nose, with some floral and malty hints.

The palate is multi-layered too, with some slight citrus hints on a honey background with peat and delicious spices before a honey finish with a trace of brine.

The successor to the now-silent Brora, built opposite the original distillery and producing a top-quality rich, smoky dram. One of the best entry-level proprietary bottlings available from any distillery.
