Colour; pale gold. Nose: we’re back in more austere and simpler territories now, it appears. It’s quite powerful at first nosing, starting very meaty like it happens sometimes with Laphroaig, maybe even ‘fishy’ (keepers), with also bold notes of flints, ashes, fireplace, newly cut grass and grapefruit juice. Really sharp, in fact, developing on hot ham, green tomatoes, getting smokier by the minute… And also very, very farmy (it smells just like a cow stable after a few minutes). What a beast (precisely). Laphroaig 19 Year Old 190th Anniversary
Mouth: oh yes, what a beast! The attack is more complex and sweeter than expected, with a lot of lemon and grapefruit juice, waxed paper, cough sweets, smoked dishes again (both meat and fish) and something very mineral. Not the embodiment of delicacy but it does conquer your palate ‘manu militari’, except if you don’t like Islayers. Lots of camphor, white pepper, nutmeg, quite some dried cardamom, dried chilli… Yes, it’s hot. The finish is extremely long, still invading, and even ten minutes after your last sip, you could think you just had it. A very conclusive Laphroaig, not only for hopeless peatophiles. Music? Something by Wagner. Laphroaig 19 Year Old 190th Anniversary price
Further, A really good one, one of the best batches I’ve had, offering intensity and many different nuances while staying really drinkable. Available from The Whisky Exchange for instance.
Moreover, From the nose I though this would be nearly identical to the Liquid Sun release, but on the palate it turns out less rounded and balanced, less sherried and more extreme. Not bad of course, but at this price? Around € 230 – now sold out. This year’s cask is still available but it will cost you over € 300, that’s just ridiculous. Thanks for the sample, Johannes.
