Coming from no less a luminary than Jim Murray himself in JIM MURRAY'S WHISKY BIBLE 2006, he gives Laphroaig Quarter Cask 95 points out of 100 - where he classifies 94 to 97 point marked whiskies as being the ultimate 'superstar whiskies that give us all a reason to live'
NOSE 22 out of 25: Burning embers of peat in a crofters fireplace, sweet intense malt and lovely, refreshing citrus as well.
TASTE 24 out of 25: Mouth-watering, mouth-filling and mouth-astounding: the perfect weight of the smoke has no problems filling every crevice of the palate, builds towards a sensationally sweet maltiness at the middle.
FINISH 24 out of 25: Really long, and dries appropriately with smoke and spice. Classic Laphroaig.
BALANCE, 25 out of 25: A great distillery back to its awesome if a little sweet, self. Layer upon layer of sexed-up peatiness, this is the closest I remember it to some 30 years ago!
-Jim Murray
Laphroaig Description
The additional oak influence creates a soft sweetness and velvety feel when first tasted, then the intense peatiness so unique to Laphroaig, comes bursting through. The finish is very long and alternates between the sweetness and the peat.
Wine Enthusiast: 88 Points
The first nosings find clean, apple peel-like and peat-free scents; later inhalations find a more sea breeze like, mildly briny character. Palate entry is lean, earthy, moderately smoky and lemony; midpalate is oily with flavors of ash, peat, sweet malt and brine. Concludes sweet, peaty and cigarette ash-like, with a bite of green olive.
