Laphroaig 15 yo 1991/2007 (52.1%, Signatory, cask #6978, 183 bottles) A brand new cask from Signatory’s series of well-reputed 1991 Laphroaigs. I hope this is not a death seat after that great sherried 1987. Colour: white wine. Nose: yes, it’s a little shyer but let’s be fair and give it a little time... Okay, now it is very expressive indeed. More natural but also fresher than the 1987, starting with fresh butter and vanilla, crystal-clean peat and a whole plate of oysters. It stays very maritime for a while and gets then more medicinal, quite expectedly, with also notes of diesel oil. We have also quite some freshly cut apples, fresh almonds again and whiffs of garden bonfire. This one isn’t too boldly peaty and smoky but rather ultra-clean – yet complex. Excellent. Mouth: totally excellent again at the attack, punchy, peaty, tarry, coastal and medicinal as it should be but not raw or aggressive in any way. Perfect balance between the sweetness and the phenols, a prototypical ‘Bourbon-style’ Laphroaig. Mr Symington, we hope you still have a few other casks from the same series. Finish: extremely long, extremely compact, getting very peppery besides the heavy peatiness, with no flaws whatsoever that I could spot (and believe me, I tried hard). ‘Natural’ Laphroaig in its full glory. Cask #6981 was worth 91 points in my books, this one will fetch 92 points, well-deserved.
