Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.
Laphroaig 1999
Country: Scotland
Region: Islay
Type: Single Malt
Bottler: Cooper's Choice
ABV: 46%
Score: 83 Points
This single-cask bottling was aged in a refill butt, and while it’s the same age as the distillery’s 10-year-old bottling, there are differences. The color is lighter, and the nose is dry and peaty with hints of oak and straw. The taste starts off slightly tart, then develops a spicy peatiness that builds well into the finish, which remains smoky and intense with just a hint of lemon.
