Laphroaig 10yo – A best seller

The weekend is finally here, though #coronavirus is keeping most of indoors, I managed to take this 10yo Laphy out for a stroll 😉.

Created by Ian Hunter 75 years ago, Laphroaig 10yo is a classic and captivating expression, awarded numerous times in national and international profile competitions. The secret of the complex aromatic palette lies in the fact that the malted barley that enters the composition of the single malt is dried above the burnt peat. The smoke released by the burned peat gives complexity, uniqueness and expressiveness to the whisky. This is a single malt specific to the Islay area, easy to recognize after the smell and impossible to forget once it has been tasted. A splash of cold water opens the bouquet of this elegant whisky.

Here is my review:

Nose: Rich notes of smoke, algae, herbs, sweet accents and a dash of menthol.

Palate: A large, round bouquet, dominated by sweet aromas, salty notes and rich tones of smoke.

Finish: Medium, delicate.

Color: Shiny gold.

This is a solid release from Laphroaig! .

Andrei Muresan

My name is Andrei, Andrei-Paul Muresan. I’m an IT professional, born in the wonderful year of 1982, in the heart of Transylvania (for people who don’t know, the heart of Transylvania is a city called Cluj-Napoca, located in Eastern Europe, in Romania to be more exact). Here’s a photo of me, just to put a face to the name 😉 I mentioned Transylvania because most people are more likely to know where Transylvania is and not where Romania is 🙂 oh and by the way, vampires, they’re just ghost stories, sorry to disappoint everybody. As you might expect, given my profession, I’m passionate about technology and everything that surrounds it, but I am also a great spirits fan, and when I say spirits I mean scotch, whisk(e)y and cognac, and I also enjoy a good cigar (I never say no to a good cigar). I like to mix all that with a good tune and also a good game, I own a couple of game consoles. I am, by no means, an expert in the scotch/whisk(e)y/cognac/cigar world, but I am keen on learning everything there is to know about it, so I’m launching an invitation to you, to join me in this virtual journey as we learn together.
