Laphroaig LAPHROAIG 1994-2014 20 Year Old DUN BHEAGAN #5040&5048 49% One of 573 bottles The aroma features strong grapefruit, a robust maltiness reminiscent of fresh peated whisky, along with notes of tar, seaweed, nuts. The mouthfeel is soft, with prominent citrus and smoky peat, while sweetness remains subdued. A salty, vegetal finish lingers with considerable peatiness. 【Good/Very Good】 New release from Dun Bheagan: Laphroaig 1994, 20-year-old matured whisky. While the fresh citrus nuances typical of refill casks are present in the aroma, a rugged peatiness with strong tar and charcoal characteristics also emerges. The sweetness is not particularly pronounced, leaving a slightly youthful impression overall despite the 20-year-old specification. While the specifications of the two vatted casks are intriguing, they likely resemble plain cask characteristics. #Laphroaig (LAPHROAIG)
