LAPHROAIG 12 YEARS EXCLUSIVE TO TRAVELLERS

The taste is where I enjoy this Laphroaig Exclusive to Travellers the most, because it displays the classic peat but very much mingled with a tropical note of mango and peach. We know these elements well from (much) older Laphroaig, but to pick it up at quite a younger age, is surprising. And very welcome. It might be kicking in an open door here: but this is a step up from the regular 10 years old, I have to say. Even though I like that one too, this is a tad more rewarding, and the fruity elements more pronounced. Almost as if Laphroaig borrowed a page out the Ardbeg book. On repeated sipping, you will notice a nice viscosity that does justice to the Laphroaig spirit. The finish continues this wonderful dance between ashes and tropical fruits.
