Laphroaig reviews

For the next Laffie in this series, I had to go through my cabinet of sample. I found a bottling from 2009, bottled by Koen from the Belgian shop QVID. It is a 13 Year Old Laphroaig from 1996. The D on…

Another day, another Laphroaig, why not? The German Malts of Scotland has bottled yet another one. This 16 Year Old is already their 19th cask bottled by Thomas. How many Laffie casks do they have in…

Let us stay with the new Belgian bottler Brachadair for a moment, as they also have this 14 Year Old Laphroaig, bottled by A.D. Rattray.At the front of the nose I get quite some ashes and smoke, covering…
