Laphroaig An Cuan Mor
Country: Scotland
Region: Islay
Type: Single Malt
Bottler: Distiller
ABV: 48%
Score: 91 Points
This 18-year-old Laphroaig is a travel retail exclusive, and gets its name from the Scots Gaelic translation of “the big ocean”. It is matured in ex-Bourbon casks, with a final finish in European Oak casks, and the nose has a good peatiness with hints of honey, dried fruits, plums, and charred oak. The taste starts off sweet, followed seconds later by an immediate burst of peat and smoke. Honey and dried fruits appear underneath, along with a touch of oak. The finish is long and smooth with plums, honey, and a hint of peat. Excellent! (April, 2014)
