Laphroaig 10 yo Islay Single Malt Scotch

 Work outing, the hotel bar was disappointing, @laphroaig 10 yo was the only whisky (Haig club was there but that's not whisky ;) ). But I don't like peated whiskies, or so I thought. Hated Talisker, Highland Park, and a couple of others I've tried, but this is lovely:)

Peat isn't overpowering, it's smokey, tasty, so when I saw it in Sainsbury's with £10 off, I treated myself :) Really enjoying it, subtle sweetness and feint flowery taste and slightly peppery.

This has been on my wish list a while, after a friend visited the distillery and recommended it, but it’s another that’s never discounted, as it’s not one of the “big boys”.

However, I was lucky enough to see it, and some other spirits discounted in M&S, end of line, I assume they’re going to stop stocking it.

It’s very nice, it’s quite a mild, mellow whisky, no burn. It’s subtly fruity, not overpowering, hints of apple and raisin, caramel.
