We rounded out this fabulous tasting with 3.0, a lovely combination of charcoal, butterscotch, and of course, peat! It is Laphroaig, after all. All three bottles were sourced from outside the LCBO. Always looking forward to our next frogger!
Elements 2.0 is a zesty one, with notes of vanilla and apple. Despite the strong opinions online, 2.0 rang the bell as the overall favourite of the Club, although the vote was fairly split.
In May, we tasted a long awaited trio of Islay beauties, Laphroaig Elements 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0. Surprisingly easy drinking Laphroaig all around! Which one was the Club’s favourite!?? 1.0 offered tropical notes with spice and smoke…
Matured only in sherry seasoned oak casks, a high proportion first fill. Bottled at natural colour, with flavours of ginger, rose water, pears and vanilla.
Nothing like a 46-year-old unicorn to kick off the Club’s new year, and to celebrate 18 years of some damn fine whisky gone before. Unreal to ponder, when this bottle was laid down in a remote dusty Scottish warehouse , most of our parents were only 7 years old!
Glenburgie ’64 was dry, fruity, oaky and such a lovely old timer. Just a few sips of this mellow, subtly sweet dinosaur simply was not enough. A delicate dram for the ages – what a treat! Cheers to 18 years ETKW and to many more fine nectars still to be explored!
The third of four amazing 18-year Anniversary tasters! 40 years and counting…one more bottle to go!
Benriach 30 certainly went over well as another 18-Year Anniversary taster, with some Club members voting it their favourite of the night! It was a pretty hard choice to select just one…hard to believe the evening had 2 other even older beautiful drams on offer!
The youngest of 4 fantastic bottles sampled for our much-anticipated 18-Year Anniversary. Had to have at least one whisky distilled 18 years ago for this amazing milestone! Cheers ETKW!
The Club enjoyed a duo of 21 year-old beauties in November. Both sourced from Alberta.
