Young Laphroaig gives the typical peat punch of the island, whereas mature malts from Caol Ila, Bowmore, and Ardbeg distillery provide smoothness and body. The cherry on top is a little dash of the extremely rare Port Ellen distillery adding a great deal of complexity. Islay Whisky at its best!This is a blended malt from vom Fass. It's based on about 80% young Laphroaig according to the guy at the store (I have come to take what guys at stores say about whisky with a pinch of salt) and the rest is mature Caol Ila, Ardbeg, Bowmore and a hint of Port Ellen (likely a teaspoon per cask just to make it fancy).VomFass is german for “From the cask”.  They specialize is quality olive oils and spiritsSupport the showWebsite:www.whiskeychaserspod.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/whiskeychaserspodcastInsta:https://www.instagram.com/whiskeychaserspodcast/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@whiskeychaserspodcastThanks For Listening!
