Elements of Islay Lp8

This item is archived.

Independently bottled Laphroaig is getting harder and harder to come by, and it is commanding higher and higher prices. This 1998 bottling at 53.3% is 18-19 years of age. If it is anything like the other Elements of Islay releases we've had, it won't disappoint. Only 30 bottles in Calgary, exclusive to KWM!

Producer Description: “A marriage of a trio of ex-Madeira wine casks from 1998, Lp8 promises a beautifully sweet and smoky Laphroaig, giving a slightly softer edge to what is known as the typically medicinal Islay whisky.”

Producer Tasting Note

Nose: Brine and freshly laid tar are followed by prunes and dates. Classic medicinal notes of TCP mix with blood orange.

Palate: A cloak of dense, dark fruit and sooty smoke is draped over zesty grapefruit and dry spices. Cardamon and nutmeg mix with darkchocolate-filled lime boiled sweets.

Finish: More classic medicinal notes, with smoke and salt-encrusted mackerel skins to follow.
