Laphroaig Quarter Cask

Coming from no less a luminary than Jim Murray himself in JIM MURRAY'S WHISKY BIBLE 2006, he gives Laphroaig Quarter Cask 95 points out of 100 - where he classifies 94 to 97 point marked whiskies as being the ultimate 'superstar whiskies that give us all a reason to live'

These are his tasting notes:
NOSE 22 out of 25, Burning embers of peat in a crofters fireplace, sweet intense malt and lovely, refreshing citrus as well.

TASTE 24 out of 25, mouth-watering, mouth-filling and mouth-astounding: the perfect weight of the smoke has no problems filling every crevice of the palate, builds towards a sensationally sweet maltiness at the middle.

FINISH 24 out of 25, really long, and dries appropriately with smoke and spice. Classic Laphroaig ; BALANCE, 25 out of 25, a great distillery back to its awesome if a little sweet, self. Layer upon layer of sexed-up peatiness, this is the closest I remember it to some 30 years ago!
