Laphroaig 1973 / 14 Year Old / Averys Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

75cl / 40% / Averys of Bristol – This 14-year-old Laphroaig was distilled in 1973 and bottled in 1987 by Avery’s of Bristol. This was bottled from a single cask by John Avery and the outturn was spilt between the Avery’s of Bristol wine shop and a close friend, from whom we purchased this stock. We opened a bottle at The Whisky Show Old & Rare 2019 and were met by notes of fresh hay, dusty books, almond tart, chestnut, honey, sweet pipe tobacco and coffee.
