Review
Not for me
I liked it
I loved it!
An intensely peating whiskey that delivers a robust flavor profile characterized by secondary maturation in smaller quarter casks. This process blends the classic peat of Laphroiag with a sweet and minerally salty flavour profile. The result is a complex dram that will be intense for newcomers but an enjoyable variation for those that like the 'peat meets sea' style.
