Sainsburys have a Laphroaig Quarter Cask on offer at £22 at the moment. It's under 6 yr old, 5 years then 7 months in the quarter cask. Apparently being 1/4 of the volume in each cask means it doesn't need so long to mature, but maybe that's a gimmick. A bit harsh on it's own, but at 48% abv, you'd expect to add a few drops water to this one, and of course that means you get more whisky out of your 70cl bottle With just the right amount it rounds off very nicely and is very similar to a Laphroaig 10 yr old. Sainsbury's also do the equivalent to the Tesco's own label malts, and I'm about to crack open their 'Taste the Difference' Highland one now and will report back. I wouldn't be surprised if it's exactly the same as the Tesco's one, bought by the barrel from the same distillery, but it's also on offer at the moment for a bit over 14 quid, so I thought I'd give it a go. |

Re: The Single malt appreciation thread.
Not good TBH, I'd buy the Tesco's one again, but not this one. It leaves an unpleasant metallic aftertaste. At only 14 quid it's not great loss, I'll just keep it as a mixer.
