Hart Brothers18-year-old 1990 vintage (distilled at Laphroaig)
Summary
This 18-year-old single malt whisky, distilled at Laphroaig and bottled by Hart Brothers, offers a refined and mature experience. The whisky has spent nearly two decades maturing, allowing it to develop a complex and nuanced character that is both rich and sophisticated.

On the nose, this whisky presents a harmonious blend of peat smoke and coastal brine, intermingled with subtle hints of oak and vanilla. The palate is equally impressive, delivering a balanced combination of smoky peat, sweet malt, and a touch of dried fruit.

The finish is long and lingering, with the smoky and maritime notes gradually fading to reveal a gentle sweetness and a hint of oak. This whisky is a testament to the craftsmanship of both Laphroaig and Hart Brothers, offering a well-rounded and deeply satisfying experience for both novice and seasoned whisky drinkers alike.
