The third release in the Scottish Folklore Series has arrived and you don't want to miss this. A Single Cask, 19 Year Old Laphroaig that has been finished in Bordeaux Red Wine Casks for 2 years. An intricately designed label features the Cailleach Beira, a Queen and mother of Gods, Beira has the power to raise mountains, carve glens and fill lochs to the brim, but during the months of light she is young, carefree and does not rule. Her time comes when winter begins, her brow has wrinkled and her outlook has hardened. The outstanding cask #1700368 selected for the Cailleach Beira was distilled in 2001 at The Laphroaig Distillery and placed into a refill hogshead for 17 years before being re-racked in October 2017 into a 1st Fill Château Léoville-Las Cases Bordeaux Barrique. Tasting Notes: Nose - Starts sweet and musty, like freshly trampled grapes. There’s a richness like black cherry jam on wholemeal toast. The toasted note becomes a full burning peat fire within a few moments, undercut by grated nutmeg and Laproaig’s distinctive algal iodine. Taste - Dense and chewy on the tongue, like a dark malt loaf studded with dried cherries and pecan nuts. A heavy oakiness is a solid anchor, around which flavours of honey-glazed ham, smoked paprika and laver cake coalesce. Finish - Once the smoke has cleared (which takes a little while), there’s a lingering note of after-dinner brandy and praline chocolates. Those ones that are shaped like seashells.
