Firstly, An old bottle of Laphroaig 10 year old, bottled in the early 1990s before the companyhttps://mcliquorhouse.com/product/laphroaig-25-year-old-cask-strength-bot-2017/ received the Royal Warrant from Prince Charles in 1994.
This is the first version, for duty free only. Colour: straw. Nose: extremely smoky, and not only on peat smoke. Lots of grapefruit juice, getting very rubbery (brand new tyre). It then develops on lots of tropical fruits such as passion fruit, guava, mango… Really big and powerful, yet perfectly balanced. Fantastic. Mouth: again, big, bold and superbly balanced. Lots of spearmint, smoke, lemon and all sorts of tropical fruits, with an endless finish. A stunning whisky, perhaps the best of all the Laphroaig C/S I ever had, although all versions have been great, including the latest ‘green stripe’. Worth buying by the case, considering the price.

Further, I’ve had Laphroaig 10 Year Old a couple of times before (check this review from 2018), but the last time was a few weeks ago, in a charming bar called The Euston Tap in London. While my friends were ordering beers, I felt a little low on peat.

The enjoyment of this Laphroaig 10 was just so-so. It failed to express itself (from a lemonade glass) and it felt largely underpowered. Back home I decided to look for a fresh sample and write this review. It never hurts going back to basics. Laphroaig 10 Year Old Bot.1990s Pre Royal Warrant

In conclusion, We may hand in some intensity but in return you get a very quaffable Laphroaig with a high typicity. Trying this in the right environment, from a freshly opened (mini) bottle made a big difference. If anything it proves you shouldn’t judge whisky based on a cursory sip from a bottle that may have been opened long ago. A good cornerstone malt, available from The Whisky Exchange and Master of Malt among others.
