Laphroaig Islay Single Malt 18 Years Old 750ml

Only 1 Bottle Left!!
This 18 year old expression of Laphroaig is made in limited quantities each year and savoured by a fortunate few. A soft, sweet and spicy Islay peat smoke greets you when you first open the bottle. The immediate taste is an oak sweetness, from 18 years in the barrel. A faint hint of the sea can be detected, testimony to its time maturing on the remote island of Islay. Bottled at 48% ABV and non-chill filtered for a depth of taste and texture. Enjoy neat or with a splash or water. Color: Bright Gold. Nose: At bottling strength, a soft toffee sweet but faintly spicy flavor counterbalances the trace of delicate phenols and fruit. An all encompassing smoothness bring these together. A touch of water allows the seaweed and salts to come through but not enough to overpower the vanilla and honey sweetness with just a trace of new mown hay and peat at the finish. Body: An intense depth that is exceptionally balanced and warming. Taste: An instant warming tang of smoke fades into smooth floral scents, which blends seamlessly into and oaky nuttiness and leaves a lasting sweetness on the taste. With a touch or water, the peaty warmth fills the mouth but does not overshadow the sweet chocolate smoothness. This is balanced by the rich toffee taste and slowly fades into a delicate hint of heather and peat smoke. Finish: Full bodied, long with a luxurious oily smoothness.
