Laphroaig 27 Year Old Bot.2017

Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

2017 marks the third annual version of Laphroaig’s limited-edition aged releases. This 27-year-old whisky has been matured in a combination of first-fill bourbon barrels and refill quarter casks. Smoky and fruity with notes of citrus fruit, leather and sea spray.

From casks distilled in 1988 and 1989.

Colour: deep gold.

Nose: another style entirely, all on these gorgeous and rather precious tropical fruits. Lots of ripe guava, mango and pineapple with further impressions of papaya, overripe banana, passion fruit and tropical fruit salad juices. Just extremely luscious, ripe and generous, with the most gentle touches of medicine and soft, thready peat smoke. A wonderful nose! Laphroaig 27 Year Old Bot.2017

Mouth: holds up well despite the ABV. Still focussed on fruits, but also with some sandalwood, mineral oils, seawater, grapefruit and dried herbs. Coastal freshness but also with some more resinous stuff like menthol and wood resins. Indeed, over time the casks do start to have more of a voice with these wee wood spice tones. Finish: good length, with a bigger, more oily smokiness, like puffer smoke, tarry rope, hessian, coal dust and pine wood. Comments: I was worried about the ABV but it’s actually a really splendid drop, the fruits in the nose alone are worth the admission. Laphroaig 27 Year Old Bot.2017

Not much to add about Laphroaig. Not a total fan of the myriads of NASes they’ve been doing for quite some years now, on the other hand it remains a brilliant distillate that ages particularly well (which is precisely why we’re not in total awe in front of the NASes). This time, we’ll go more or less randomly since we’re extremely late with our Laphroaigs at Château Whiskyfun
