Majestic Scotch treasure from Laphroaig.
It all started in 1911, when a boy was born in North-East of Scotland. His name was Alexander Murray, a true farmer that marched to his own drumbeat. He grew barley and sold it to local Single Malt producers. He loved Whisky and this love came through genes to Steve Lipp, his great-nephew. He established an independent bottling company bearing his great uncle's name. Based in LA, it searches for the next best thing and lucky for us, they are really good at what they do.
Now, they unearthed a fantastic Scotch made by Laphroaig, a symphony of smoke and peat and sweet fruitiness. Winning two golden medals in 2018, this Islay gem has a cool secret: its peat comes from unique peat beds of Glen Machrie. The peat there contains high levels of “Sphagnum”, which we promise is a real thing. It’s a species of moss that produces iodine-like flavors during production. What comes out of ex-Bourbon casks after twelve years is a magnificent, heavily peated, layered, and grand Scotch Whisky.
Slainte!

Ratings & Reviews
Alex,
Fabulous scotch. Best of Laphroaig, but a little less medicinal, a bit of brine and a bit maltier. If you like Islay scotches you will not be disappointed.
Antti,
It is a very good, intense, 'Single Malt Scotch Whisky that has an aromatic birth; while a rich & spicy life that leads to a long & peaty death with notes of oak, earth & flowers.
Mark,
Not like other Laphroaig bottlings. It has a hickory bbq smokiness with less latex notes and a bit of sweetness that compliments the smoke perfectly
Tonia,
A little less peat, a little less medicinal. A bit more sweet. Really enjoyable.
Gregory,
This single malt is not for everyone. People who enjoy smokey or peat like flavor profiles will likely enjoy this. This single malt is semi-sweet and has a comfortable medium heat when held in one's mouth. Would likely pair well with smoked meats, barbecue like or earthy flavors (e.g. mushrooms).
