Laphroaig, a smokey pleasure
July 30th, 2007
Laphroaig is a staple in the scotch garden. My first experience with it was before my appreciation for such things had evolved to where it is today. Never-the-less, I buy Laphroaig very often as I’ve become very fond of its heavy-peat flavor. There are several other subtle fruit undertones that I can’t quite make out exactly but the delicate complexity is elegant. Even the classic green bottle and white label it comes in suggest a legacy of refinement.
This distillery defines the Islay region malts for me. Not for everyone, either you love it or you hate it.
… I love it!
