The Saint Bourbon Whiskey
Category: Bourbon Whiskey
Date Tasted: 10/29/2018
Country: USA
Alcohol: 57.2% Copper color. Unusual, spicy aromas of gingerbread, molasses cookies, raisin granola, chocolate dipped crystalized ginger, and cinnamon-sugar pretzel with a slightly chewy, bright, fruity medium-to-full body and a peppery, refreshing, medium-length eucalyptus, cinnamon rolls, anise, sassafras, and coffee finish. A distinctively spicy dram that drinks like a flavored whiskey; layers of herbs and spice make this an interesting cocktail choice.

Quote: LAPHROAIG 10 YEAR OLD [ pronounced La-froyg ]
70cl 40% vol
THE CLASSIC LAPHROAIG 10 YEAR OLD ISLAY SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY, DISTILLED THE SAME WAY TODAY AS WHEN IAN HUNTER INVENTED IT OVER 75 YEARS AGO.
Our Laphroaig 10 Year Old is the original Laphroaig, distilled the same way today as when Ian Hunter invented it more than 75 years ago. It is the foundation of all other Laphroaig expressions.
In making Laphroaig, malted barley is dried over a peat fire. The smoke from this peat, found only on Islay, gives Laphroaig its particularly rich flavour.
Those enjoying the Laphroaig 10 Year Old will first notice the bold, smoky taste, followed by a hint of seaweed and a surprising sweetness. This full-bodied variant is the foundation of all Laphroaig expressions and comes with a long finish.
This whisky was also named 2019 Best Single Malt Scotch 10 Years & Under by Jim Murray's Whisky Bible.
