Laphroaig Scotch Single Malt 10 Year

This has to be one of Scotland's most characterful drams. Really smoky and iodine rich. 94 points - Ultimate Beverage Challenge Heavily peated and smoky at first, with undercurrents of smoked meats, baked pear, pistachio, and vanilla. Fruit and nuts on the palate give way to the intense smoke and savory flavors which seem to last forever. Rich and decidedly powerful. - 2018 Ultimate Spirits Challenge (Tried and True Award)(Finalist).April/2018 93 points - Wine EnthusiastLook for a distinctly peaty aroma, with hints of smoked fish, bacon and mesquite. The palate shows peat smoke from the first sip plus an undercurrent of honey, finishing with black pepper heat. Water brings out a spearmint note and a touch more vanilla..Kara Newman, December/2017 PROOF 86 ABV 43% AGING 10 years
