“Because you can't buy happiness... but you can buy whisky and that's pretty much the same thing”

Laphroaig 27 years old Oloroso Cask 2008 Release Tasting note

By Miguel in Tasting , Laphroaig

“Heaven exists! And I am really happy this bottle is sold out because I would have had to buy one no matter the price.”

94
Laphroaig 27 Year Old Oloroso Cask (2008 Release)
Distilled at Laphroaig, the best selling Islay single malt in the world, this stunning 27 years old whisky has been distilled in 1981.

Chosen among thousands of casks, only five casks that previously held Oloroso sherry were used to create this awesome thick and full single malt with a deep hue.

It isn't ever neat the experience but you can get an idea of what you are missing with the great Bunnahabhain 20 years old from Master of Malt single class bottlings.

This dram has a old oak-like color.

Nose (95): more than average. peat, raisins, varnish, dates, nuts, citrus. Perfect nose! There is almost no room for anything better than this Laphroaig.

Palate (95): smooth, powerful, oily. peat, wood, spices, tobacco, nuts, citrus, salt, earth, oysters. Absolutely mindblowing whisky!

Finish (92): longer than average. peat, wood, apples, citrus, nuts, floral.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Laphroaig 27 Year Old Oloroso Cask (2008 Release) with 94 points over 100.
