Laphroaig 21 Year Old 1988/2009 Douglas Laing "Old Malt Cask" 50% vol. 0,7l
Single piece!
Douglas Laing & Co.
Douglas Laing & Co. was founded in 1950 as a blending company.
The core business is still old-fashioned blends - the main markets for Douglas Laing & Co. are Latin America and Asia.
Since this business has been declining since the mid-90s, it has been decided to fill the best malts from its own stock as a single malt.
This resulted in the high quality "The Old Malt Cask" series as well as the "McGibbon's Provenance" series.
Laphroaig "The old Malt Cask"
The Laphroaig distillery on Islay Island produces Prince Charles's favorite whiskey, proudly displayed on the bottling labels.
Laphroaig is a typical representative of Islay - for Laphroaig is the principle: "Either you love him or you hate him!".
The taste is overwhelming, whiskey connoisseurs use words like seaweed, diesel, tar or disinfectant to describe it.
Laphroaig is one of the few distilleries that still pokes its own peat today and whose "malting floors" are still in operation.
Filling from a refill hogshead, finished in a rum barrel.
Data of bottling
Distilled: March 1988
Bottled: April 2009
Edition: 311 bottles
not cold-filtered
without dyes

Für einen Hardcore-Laphroaig-Fan fast schon zu mild, aber für jeden anderen ein spannedes Erlebnis, wie sich die aggressive Rauchigkeit der 10jährigen teilweise in vanilleartige Aromen verwandelt, ohne die Herkunft zu verbergen.
