Williamson Blended Malt Scotch Whisky, 2010, 15 Year Old, 70CL, 57.1%ABV

Williamson Blended Malt Scotch Whisky (Lp) 2010, 15 Years Old 2 Years in a Malaga Cask / 342 bottles – Previously in a refill butt. 57.1% ABV Artwork by: @WhiskyHobo Andrew was inspired to create an Andalusian connection with Islay – He has beautifully brought elements of a traditional Andalusian fishing village with the beautiful coastline of Islay – perfectly linking the robust Laphroaig spirit with the soft elegance of the Malaga cask – a perfect match! Nose: ‘Generic’ tarry Islay fishing ropes, but tarred with walnut oil, maple syrup, speculoos and sprinkled with black sesame seeds! Buckets of muscavado, crushed walnuts, arbroath smokies, sugared almonds, date & miso syrup – perhaps a touch of Maggi sauce! Palate: Hash resin! Over stewed and cold breakfast tea, date and ginger puree, dark miso paste, a hint of (salty) dark soy sauce – The proper stuff! Quintessential Laphroaig notes combine beautifully with an excellent cask, giving balanced sweetness to the tarry heavy smoke. Finish: Quite punchy, with argon oil, cloves, mace, crushed capers (briney). It lingers and becomes drier with time. Non-chill filtered and natural colour. This spirit may haze at low temperatures and under dilution.
