Laphroaig 2000 Bot.2019 Masam

70cl / 52.4%

A 2000 Laphroaig single malt, from Masam, aka Maryse Samaroli, wife of legendary independent bottler Silvano Samaroli. Selected from her late husband’s collection of incredible casks.
A bottling done by Signatory in a series by LMdW that’s supposed to display the ten different classic malt profiles. Number 09 is ‘Heavy Islay Peat’ and we can’t be against that, can we? Colour: straw.
Nose: big phat peat indeed and a profile that’s not without remind us of some of the official 10 CSs. You know, that superb combination of smoke and ashes with touches of passion fruits and mangos. Behind all that: wet dogs of course (apologies, dogs), antiseptic and eucalyptus. Classic. No water needed it seems. Laphroaig 2000 Bot.2019 Masam
Mouth: perfect young Laphroaig, nervous, wonderfully sharp, ‘chiselled’, lemony, smoky (not kidding) and only mildly medicinal. Simple pleasures. Oh, and a super-big peat. Finish: long, on the same flavours. A little gentian in the aftertaste and bags of ashes. Comments: textbook young Laphroaig. Not 90 material because of its ‘uncomplex profile’ (please don’t argue) but quite close. The peatiness is of Supernovesque levels.
This one was matured in ‘a combination of the finest oloroso sherry and American oak casks’. I think this ‘American oak’ mention can be misleading as most sherry casks are made out of American oak anyway if I’m not mistaken. Colour: gold. Nose: this is rather strange. Curiously herbal and vegetal (beans, cabbage), very farmy, with whiffs of wet animals (dogs, sheep – sorry both) and then big, bold notes of antiseptic, bandages and embrocations. Laphroaig 2000 Bot.2019 Masam
The most medicinal Laphroaigs I ever nosed. With water: really toned down but even earthier (old pu-erh tea). Touches of ink, old papers and mud. Mouth (neat): rawer than expected from a 25yo, almost as rooty and earthy as the 10 but also more medicinal again. Cough medicine, heavy liquorice lozenges and lime. Aloe vera juice. With water: it got cardboardy and dry, water works much worse than with the 10, which is a little strange.
