Laphroaig 18 Year Scotch 750ml for $79.98
Color: Straw.
Nose: starts rather yeasty and acidic, on apple peels, lemon and sauvignon blanc, the peat kicking in a little later. Faint hints of antiseptic but not many more medicinal notes.
Mouth: an immense saltiness and quite some earthy peat…notes of crystallised lemons and quite some liquorice wood.
Finish long, balanced, almost perfect now, right between the peat, the lemon and the earthiness.
Comments:Shy nose, good palate, great finish.
It's a good price, but they only ship locally, sadly. I like the Laphroaig 18. It seems a little more refined than its younger cousin, the 10 (and is a worthy successor to the 15, that was more grass and less peat).
We do ship nationally however it comes with a price tag due to all the precautions we take to get you your bottle safely. If you live in the Twin Cities, MN area we deliver your alcohol for free. If you have any other questions use our contact form: http://www.shopmerwins.com/contact.html
