70cl / 53.6%
A 1990 Laphroaig single malt from indie bottler Hunter Laing, matured in a single cask for 30 years before being bottled as part of its Kinship series for Virtual Feis Ila 2020.
A very young one, that’s interesting… Colour: straw. Nose: not quite whisky yet, because the yeasty and beery side remains very obvious, but indeed it’s very interesting to catch a malt at this point. Not much medicinal notes, rather a lot of brine and seawater, seaweed, beach sand, oysters and all that jazz. All that with a good deal of peat smoke, no need to say. Like nosing some smoked seawater!
Mouth: you know what, it’s the ‘An Cuan Mor’, only with less oak. This is striking. Pure brine and liquid smoke, oyster juice, a feeling of antiseptic this time, kippers, earth, liquorice, gentian… Finish: long and very briny. How is it possible to obtain this profile without adding quite a few fistfuls of salt to each barrel? Comments: obviously very spirit-forward. What’s not to like when the spirit’s this great? A spectacular ueberyoungster. Laphroaig 1990 30 Year Old Edition #6 The Kinship
A concept dram, maybe, but a nice one and not just an experiment in peatiness, if you know what I mean. It shows some unique notes and above average complexity. Nice to be surprised by a seemingly standard young Laphroaig. Around € 80, found here.
The equivalent of a Fisherman’s Friend. A strong and quite medicinal Laphroaig, not too wide but nicely focused on the things that peatheads love most. Around € 70, available from the Whiskybase store.
