Laphroaig Quater Cask

Ontario was nice.  Did the family thing, the barbecues, the dinners, chase kids, played golf and . . . . visited some liquor stores.  Staring at shelves of scotch on display is much like visiting a dog pound and trying to choose a pup looking longlingly through the bars for a home.  Hmmm . . . . one of the strays I took home was Laphroaig Quarter Cask Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

Nose (undiluted)
As soon as you pull the cork on this one you're gonna smell big smoke.  I mean big!  The girl friend, wife, partner, whatever, will be whining and wrinkling their nose.  Ahh!  We don't need them (well, at least not right now).  Coal, peat and small brush fire smoke.  You know what damp wood smells like when it burns, that's what I am picking up.  

Palate (undiluted)
Oily mouthfeel. Make no mistake about it, this is a peat and smoke bonfire that is very representative of Islay whiskies. This malt starts out sweet, delicate, followed by towering peat and smoke. I mean big, skyscraper peat and smoke! But somehow, it is refined, not rough or sharp like Ardbeg 10 year old can be.  Mid-palate the American oak casks that once held first-fill bourbon comes through too. 

Finish (undiluted)
Smokey, but not over the top. Again, reminiscent of a heap of damp branches set afire out in the woods on a fall day with the drizzle of rain overhead. Limes and ginger linger for a very long time. This finish is huge. These flavors linger for a very long time. 

Add Water?
A teaspoon of water to a double pour will make this scotch malty and sweeter.  The water will tone down the salt/medicinal flavors too.  I prefer this single malt with a little water.  You should definitely experiment to see what suits you.

General Impressions

This is a fine Islay single malt whisky.  While there is no age statement appearing on the bottle, do not let that lead you to conclude it is a lesser quality scotch than it's competitors like Ardbeg, Bowmore and others.  This is worthy of your attention.
