Laphroaig 28 Year Old, matured in a series of casks in a variety of sizes from quarter cask to full size, was aged for 28 long years and what came out the other side was a dream. All the whiskey in different casks was married together in sherry casks to spend a 12-year final period before being pulled and bottled at 44.4% ABV. This lovely expression comes in a white wooden presentation box with a hinged lid for added sophistication. On the nose this dram is rich with peaty notes and some golden syrup, roasted dates and Scottish heather. The taste is sweeter with fried pears and grilled meat as well as a little old leather and pepper. All round this is a wonderfully deep and rich dram that should not be missed.
