Fahrenheit 173 - Whisky

"The king o' drinks, as I conceive it, Talisker, Isla or Glenlivit"   (R.L. Stevenson)

Laphroaig 58.2% (SMWS) 1990 20 y.o.

Laphroaig 58.2% (SMWS)
Distilled 1990
20 years old

Powerful, very nice nose with peat, tar and iodine. Also notes of mint and orange marmalade. Wonderful palate: at first rich, sweet and fruity with a note of mint, then suddenly very peaty (like walking into a cloud of peat smoke). Powerful yet beautifully balanced. Wonderful, peaty finish with a note of mint.

Score: 91 p


This is an example of what an SMWS bottle looks like.
