    Was just able to get my hands on Bottle #1408 for $950 USD. Think I'll just lock it up until our 40th wedding anniversary. It was distilled in 1983, same year as we were married!

    I got to try this last weekend for my birthday. 1 oz at the whisky pub was $100 Canadian. What a treat! Sweet fruitiness with a big hit of oak. Subtle smoke and a very long finish. Superb whisky.

      I've got a bottle of that on hand too. If your city has an SMWS chapter, you can get some great cask strength private releases of Laphroaig every once in a while. Still have some left of an 18 year old Oloroso cask matured expression from a while back.

    I might be late but I have a guitar made of mahogany and it's quite that whiskey colour

    • @aaronsilva2282
      @aaronsilva2282 5 років тому +1

      There are several varieties of mahogany, of different colorations, densities, and names, ranging from light golden blonde to reddish browns to darker browns. Most are from Africa, like Khaya wood, for example, which is different than American mahogany.

  • @Zmann86

    8 years later and this bottle is still only a $1,200 bottle. Guess the demand for peated scotches is incredibly low? Everything else seems to blow up in price. These, not so much.

    Horst, pardon my naiveness, but what is the point of sending the bottle back? It's already been opened and whisky is now missing from it. It's not like they can re-sell it....or do they?

  • @johnberryconwayiii7071
    @johnberryconwayiii7071 7 років тому +3

    Laphroaig 10 is my favorite scotch so far, is there a version of Laphroaig that has a higher age statement but still retains that powerful smoke and phenol taste?

    • @zaphodbeeblebrox9109
      @zaphodbeeblebrox9109 7 років тому +5

      John Berry Conway III listen to everything Horst says again...the older the peated whisky the less intense it is. there are older bottles of laphroaig but it may not be as peaty/phenolic. Why not try Lagavulin 16.

      Yes. Just bought a bottle. It’s fantastic, definitely not overaged but of course it is not as smokey as you might expect of a Laphroaig. Will be buying another
