Laphroaig 20 Year Old (That Boutique-y Whisky Company)

Laphroaig 20yo TBWC Bottling Note

Great Scotch! It's another bottling of Laphroaig single malt Scotch whisky, independently bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company! This time, they've managed to get their hands on an excellent 20 year old whisky from the distillery on Islay, and the label still features the chaps from Living Room Whisky upon the label.

Batch 6 is a release of 490 bottles.

‘That Boutique-y Whisky Company’ bottles single malts, single grains and bourbons from a variety of renowned distilleries as well as producing award-winning blended malts and blends. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose: Sea breeze, bonfire embers and freshly pressed cider notes make way for roasted malt, chestnut and espresso elements. There’s a juicy array of sherry-soaked dried fruit throughout. TCP and minty herbs form the backdrop.

Palate: Red apples, heather honey and nutty chocolate bring a complex sweetness that balances touches of dried kelp, soy sauce and rancio. Cinnamon and black pepper bring heat and spice. Medicinal peat and hot flashes of spearmint form underneath.

Finish: A blend of soot, rock pool and tinned fruit shines in a long and satisfying finish.

Overall: The cask and distillate both show beautifully here. Pure class.
