Whiskies from 'Laphroaig Distillery'

Read the Whisky Magazine tastings notes for whiskies from Laphroaig Distillery.

• Feis Isle 2006 Laphroaig 94

The reserved nose is compensated by a lively, palate. Laphroaig is bang on form.

• Laphroaig 10 Years Old

The most medicinal of Islay malts. I love it.

• Laphroaig 10 Years Old, Cask Strength

A fine robust dram with lots happening. Laphroaig at its best.

• Laphroaig 10 Years Old, Cask Strength

The” tough guy. Medicine man? Muscular, solidly built. Dominated by camphor.

• Laphroaig 15 Years Old

Lively. Full of flavours. Multi-faceted.

• Laphroaig 17 Years Old, Feis Ile 2004, Cask Strength

A touch sophisticated for the likes of me. Where are those stinging iodine notes? They are in there somewhere, but beautifully balanced and rounded.

• Laphroaig 1960 Vintage Reserve

There is something getting in the way. Woodiness?

• Laphroaig 25 Years Old

All the aromas are working against each other and it’s incredibly muted. Why bottle this at 40%?

• Laphroaig 27 Years Old Vintage 1980

An acquired taste. Some will like it, but it’s too woody and nothing on the 1974 bottling by la Maison du Whisky.

• Laphroaig 30 Years Old

Age acts as a melting pot. All the distinctive Laphroaig features are there but combined into oak. Interesting.

• Laphroaig Quarter Cask

Seems to hesitate between sweetness and dryness. Give it time to open, you will not regret it.

• Laphroaig Quarter Cask

Smokiness takes time to rise up. No medicinal contribution from the peat. Keeps on smoke.

• Laphroaig Vintage, 17 Years Old

An excellent mix of the rich, the sweet and the smoky. Mouthfilling and complex.
