Port Askaig 28 Year
$499.99
This whisky was featured on Day 5 of our 2023 KWM UBER Whisky Calendar. You can read Evan's blog post on it here.
Bottled at 45.8%, after maturing in Refill American Oak Hogsheads, this 28 year old Mystery Islay Single Malt scored 90pts with @WhiskyFun. While the blogosphere seems to think this is Caol Ila, we were told by the bottler they strongly believed it to be Laphroaig. Curious, but either way, it is an amazingly good old Islay Single Malt Scotch at a stellar price!
Ardbeg Traigh Bhan 19 Year Batch 6
$389.99
Batch 6 of the Ardbeg Traigh Bhan 19 Year is rumoured to be the second last in the series. It was matured in ex-Bourbon and Sherry casks before bottling at 46.2%. 88pts Whisky Base
Producer Description
"Like its award-winning predecessors, Batch 6 is aged in bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks. However, with more refill bourbon casks in its recipe, this bottling invites more of Ardbeg’s bold spirit character to surge forth. Traigh Bhan’s trademark delicate balance meets ripples of olive oil and newly mown lawn grass, with classic Ardbeggian waves of tarry rope, peppermint, dark chocolate, soot and fennel."
A.D. Rattray Cask Islay
$61.99
While it is rumoured this single malt was distilled at Laphroaig, and the palate has some Laphroagian characteristics, this Islay single malt's origins are not explicitly known. Bottled at 46% without colouring or chill-filtering it is dark, earthy and medicinal.
Laphroaig 30 Yr Ian Hunter Story Book 2
$2,299.99
Book 2 in the Ian Hunter Story Series from Laphroaig. This 30 year old Laphroaig was matured in Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks and has been bottled at 48.2%. It is a tribute to Ian Hunter, the last member of the Johnston family to own Laphroaig, his tenure between 1908 and 1944. The bottle is nestled in a "beautifully crafted book that will document a part of Ian’s rich legacy." Whisky Base Score: 91.18
Producer Description
“The second release in our Ian Hunter Story pays tribute to the Icon that Ian Hunter built more than 100 years ago and honours his understanding that no one thing is more important to the creation of Laphroaig than the place it comes from – Islay and the ‘hollow by the bay’ where Laphroaig® first came into being.
Aged for 30 years in Spanish Oak Oloroso Sherry oaks, this non-chill filtered whisky is underscored with Laphroaig’s signature characteristic peatiness, making this second book a unique peated single malt whisky journey through history."
