A Warm April “Hey ScotchLovers” To You All –

This weeks Whisky Wednesday offering is certainly not for everyone.  But for those of you who have that acquired taste for peaty Islay whiskies, and a pile of sheckles burning a hole in your pocket, a sensational whisky like Laphroaig 25 Year Old at a rock-bottom price may prove too good to be true.

Laphroaig 25YO has been lovingly created by marrying Laphroaig that has been matured in Oloroso Sherry casks with Laphroaig that has been matured in ex-American Bourbon Barrels; both were filled with newly distilled Laphroaig spirit from day one.

Once again our friend Nicky No-Neck has come through with a price offer we just couldn’t refuse…and we’re passing those savings on to you, the consumer:  I am thrilled to be able to offer the opportunity to buy a bottle of Laphroaig 25YO, which normally retails for $499, for the incredibly low price of $425.

As usual, the product supply at this price is very limited…and once it’s gone, it’s gone.  So please purchase your bottle ASAP if you are interested.

LAPHROAIG 25 YEAR OLD SINGLE MALT ISLAY WHISKY

LAPHROAIG 25 YO TASTING NOTES – by ROBERT HICKS, CREATOR/ MASTER DISTILLER  

Colour: Bright Red Gold

Nose: At bottling strength the aroma seems quite closed giving only a rich, sweet scent but a touch of water releases all the multitude of different flavours. The initial sweet, sherry sweetness is quickly followed but the time-honoured Islay peat tang. After this opening burst of flavour there is a smooth fruit ripeness that complements the tang of salt in the background.

Body: Rich round and full

Palate: The burst of peat that fills the mouth is quickly restrained by a sherry sweetness that slowly develops into spicy apple fruitiness

Finish: Very long and warming leaving a distinct tang of Islay

Awards: 2010 International Wine & Spirit Competition – Gold Medal Best in Class

LAPHROAIG 25YO REVIEW by JOHN HANSEL – The Malt Advocate   

Laphroaig 25 Year Old – Laphroaig 25 Year Old makes its U.S. debut revealing the remarkable result 25 years of aging in the finest Oloroso Sherry and American Oak casks has on the world’s most distinctive malt. The whisky is a rare combination of bold peat flavor spiced with sweet sherry notes and rich oaky undertones. Creamy, smooth, full of character and complexity, the marriage of woods intertwines to form a perfectly balanced unity. Bottled in 2008 at cask strength (51.2% ABV), Laphroaig 25 Year Old brilliantly fuses two different styles into a single, remarkable experience.
