"Wedding cake in a coal sack"
Laphroaig
On the rim of its own bay with its own wee pier, the tide washes right close to its own sea walls twice a day. Will be 200 years young in 2015, when there should be some right royal celebrations. An ocean going distillery with maltings and warehouses and its very own peat reek.
A stupendous complexity of sweet malt, Islay reek, Islay salt, all that is Islay, all that is the Scottish islands, that flows across the palate, that benefits from a chew and, finally rocks your own little foundations with a little blast of incredulity at the journey afforded by that little splash of gingery liquid.
