Double Barrel Macallan/Laphroaig

Country: Scotland

Region:

Type: Blended Malt

Bottler: Douglas Laing & Co.

ABV: 46%

Score: 88 Points

The Laing brothers paired two 8-year-old casks of Macallan and Laphroaig together for this bottling, and in this case, 1+1=3. The nose has a nice balance of peat smoke with vanilla and coconut, and the taste is creamy and thick with spicy notes that fade to a lemony tartness and a slightly briny finish.
