  1. Archer scored this whisky 88 points Connoisseur

    A very nice, fruity Laphroaig that is both classic and, with its finish in Ruby Port barrels, takes a modern direction, but without exaggerating.
    • Nose
      Freshly poured it looks a bit restless at first, but if you allow it to rest in the glass for a little while, you will be rewarded with phenolic peat smoke, which is very pleasant in combination with blackberries, grapes and black currants. A freshly tarred ramp that leads into the North Sea. Hansaplast, seaweed on wood soaked in salt water.
    • Taste
      Although it is fruity-sweet at the start, the well-known and typical Laphroaig flavors also hit the tongue: strong peat smoke, warm tar paper, seaweed, salt, Hansaplast. Still warm blackberry jam, black currants, cherries. The fruits are not too dominant, so that the sweet aromas from the Ruby Port barrel do not appear superimposed at all. Rather, it gives the impression that everything should already be like that. Hot chocolate with a high cocoa content, espresso beans, charred caramel candy.
    • Finish
      Of course, the peat smoke is present on the tongue for a long time, but the fact that the finish is medium to long is not due to the smoke, but to the fact that the very pleasant peat smoke and fruit mixture - accompanied by a good portion of sea salt - simply does not say goodbye want.
