ome would add ‘with Distillery drawing’ to the description. I have this baby at WF 98 in my list, a rather solid score since I’ve already tried it a few times. But yeah, I never really wrote any decent tasting notes… By the way, we never mention prices (that would be vulgar) but I’ve seen on Whiskybase that it’s now going for north of 60,000€ a bottle. Cra-zy. Colour: golden amber.

Nose: wandering throughout an eucalyptus forest very close to the sea, in the midst of summer, while drinking Yquem 1900 (like) and smoking a perfectly taken care of pre-Fidel double-corona. More after I’ve added a drop of water… With water: earths. All kinds of earths, especially very rich compost-like earths they use for growing the most precious flowers. Quite some dried kelp too, while walking on the beach at low tide. Laphroaig 15 Year Old Bot.1980s

Mouth (neat): just insane. The definition of utter perfection in whisky, starting with artisanal thin mints, going on with all raisins and honeys of the creation, then abandoning itself to the arms (what?) of thousands of different fruits, berries, herbs, flowers and spices. Now we won’t list those or this would start to look like a dictionary and we’d be here for the rest of the day, including the night. But what a glorious list that would be!

With water: it’s incredible how it would take water. Every percent will add different flavours, going from a rather piney and mentholy smoky profile to luscious jams and dried fruits covered with honey and spices (saffron upfront). And then it would just silence you (I can hear you, who said ‘great news’?) Finish: some other whiskies, including some other Laphroaigs, are even longer but this very one’s extremely gracious, with even a wee mentholated freshness in the end. Comments: it leaves you breathless. Personal score unchanged. Thinking of Ukraine.
