95+ Points, Zachys Buying Team: "A Zachys Special Barrel Selection! Our buying team had the good fortune to directly select this barrel from the historic cellars of the benchmark Laphroaig Distillery in Islay. During the visit, our team had the chance to taste and were exceptionally impressed with the final result: Laphroaig 8-Year Zachys' Single Barrel Single Malt Scotch 117.2 Proof. This Scotch is a gorgeous and robust golden-amber color. The nose is luxuriously complex with rich smoky peat notes, hints of orange, black pepper, nuanced sweet, toasted vanilla, spice, brown butter and gingerbread, with a hint of bacon. Over time, the nose continues to develop and intensify in the glass, rewarding the most patient scotch aficionados. A rich, round and full-bodied scotch with a long, slow, warm and enchanting finish, this is destined to be a classic. On the palate, it exudes classic notes of richness, peat, salt, subtle vanilla caramel creaminess, black pepper, anise, and a hint of lemon citrus. This is an extraordinary and one-of-a-kind Scotch that is sure to impress the most discerning of palates. We highly recommend to any spirit lover.”
