The Amber Room ledger
Definitely one of the more heavy, industrial smoky Laphroaigs I've had, leaning less towards the sweetness & typical medicinal iodine that the distillery is known for
A famously good bottling from the 1970s from Ardbeg despite not being single cask, being bottled at 46% instead of the usual 40 or 43% definitely helps. This is one of those bottles that is a must-have for anyone who is a fan of smoky whisky
The nose is the nicest part of this dram
Probably the most interesting Bruichladdich I’ve had, with a Pinot Gris finish, I think that this would have been an amazing dram in the 92-93 tier had it been bottled at a higher ABV perhaps 50%+
Surprisingly enjoyable & easy to drink despite the high ABV and young age
