  • Laphroaig 10 Years Old Cask Strength Batch 12

    Nom nom nom. Another fantastic Laphroaig cask strength expression with all sorts of weird fruitiness showing up in the depths of this alcohol. Perhaps if watered down this would reveal even more but frankly it really didn’t need it! 87/100 Continue reading
