Laphroaig 25 YO

[peterekstrom]

Ny Laffe på G

"All of you know and love the unique flavour of Laphroaig. Equally you will all

have your personal favourites. For a growing band its 'The Quarter', for others

it has to be 'Cask Strength' and I imagine all of you enjoy our 10 and 15 year

old 'stalwarts'. However, they all do have one thing in common; they are matured

in 'first fill' ex American Bourbon barrels.



Once in a while we like to produce Laphroaig that is a little bit special.

Laphroaig 25 Year Old is just such an expression.



First I should say that the most obvious difference is of course the age. 25

years is a very long maturation (the angels have had more than one sip!) The

result as you may expect is a sublimely smooth single malt in its own right.



But, the real difference lies in the unique flavour due to the 'marriage'. You

see, unlike all our classic expressions we have quietly been maturing some of

our finest Laphroaig spirit in Spanish Oloroso Puncheons! Our master blender

Robert Hicks has married some of this 25 year old Spanish Oloroso Laphroaig with

25 year old American Bourbon matured Laphroaig.



For the technically minded amongst you Robert chose 'second fill' sherry casks

for the marriage. The reason for this was to ensure that the Spanish influence

did not dominate. It really is the most complex and rewarding expression of

Laphroaig I have ever tasted. Personally speaking the angels stayed right on my

tongue. The classic masculinity of the bourbon maturation combines perfectly

with the gentle sweetness of the Spanish Oloroso casks - I could go on - but to

commemorate this new expression we have created a new website where Robert Hicks

our master blender explains some of his secrets.



There is also the opportunity for 25 "Friends" to be the very first people to

try this new expression! (The bottles will be personally signed as well). You

only have until Monday 13th August to enter the draw so you have to be quick!

Jodå, anmälde mig direkt efter att jag läst mailet. Får se om man får köpa en Laffe 25:a för £125 eller om man måste betala fullpris £150.

Anmälde mig också. Läste inte så noga, men den icke-signerade versionen som skulle komma i shopen sen kommer den vara en begränsad utgåva?

[Daniel Karlsson]

Såja.. då har man sin lapp i tunnan!!

[Antfly]

Ja så var man med i utlottningen!

[deathstar]

langade också in mitt namn direkt. men, man kan ju misstänka att det är rätt liten chans

däremot låter det som en Laffe väl värd att lägga 150 pund på hur som helst.

[Martin-std]

Jag hoppas att jag har tur i dragningen, men det är jag väl inte ensam om.

[Per Eriksson]

Vi hoppas nog alla på tur i den utlottningen. Inte kunde man låta bli att anmäla sig.

[Bunkermania]

25 GBP rabatt är ju trevligt men om jag inte vinner köper jag en för 150 utan att tveka en sekund.
