This was bottled exclusively for the whisky group PLOWED in honor of the group's 2007 Vegas meeting, with Binny's Beverage Depot handling all the legal proprieties.
Cinnamon and butterscotch at the same time. The peat is tamed by the fantastic. Has a hint of bacon fat (thanks Chris). The finish is long and warm. wow!
N: Bready peat, cookie dough, bacon fat. P: Oh yeah, a very crisp and dry Laphroaig yet still very big in flavor, spicy peat, lemon sugar cookies. If Rainman drank this he'd say its "Very sparkly. Very sparkly". F: Builds! Zing! Hats off to the PLOWED guys for selecting a real tasty one. (Note: I'm not actually wearing a hat, but if I was, I would take it off. Or better yet, I can just pretend...ok, I'm pretending that I'm wearing a hat...and now I'm removing it...yes, that must warm the cockles of you hearts...such a gesture I am making...hmm...I feel kinda funny...is that gas I smell?)
Nose is pretty classic Laphroaig, gentle smoke and pears. Palate is a sweet peat explosion (I love it when I can say that). I'm not sure that there's any real surprises in here, it's textbook in a very good way (love it when I can say that too). Very long finish. Watch out because this is massively powerful, but extremely good.
I could not stop drinking this -- among a half dozen other A whiskies. Nose is medicinal, Duraflame log. Palate is mint chocolate ice cream, salt, pleasant complexity. The finish . . . is still going. Hot, spicy, peppers, smoke . . . kill me now and I'll die happy. Might be an A+.
