Official tasting notes for Berry Bros. & Rudd 325th Anniversary Laphroaig 1999 Single Malt Scotch Whisky follow:
A spectacular bouquet; sophisticated peat smoke, luscious pineapple, coal soot and mango all appear in perfect balance. This dram rewards some patience and a little breathing time shows yet more complexity, with lychee, apricot, harbour rope and engine oil. The palate lives up to the promise offered by the nose with perfect poise and grace, peat smoke beautifully tempered with age and a serene tropicality note to offer a beguiling experience. Subtle vanilla, spice, bonfire ash and soot linger on the finish.
