Mostly Grenache (there are small amounts of Syrah, Cinsault, Mourvedre, and Carignan), the 2018 Cotes Du Rhone Vieilles Vignes is a classic effort well worth seeking out. Beautiful cherry and mulled blackberry fruits, violets, and pepper garrigue give way...
To make this exquisite liquid, mature Laphroaig previously aged in refill hogsheads was transferred into first-fill ex-bourbon barrels and refill quarter casks. Patiently aged in Laphroaig’s famous Warehouse No. 1, these casks were then hand selected for a final maturation. This rare whisky features a touch of Laphroaig’s trademark peat smoke tempered by lime and sea salt. Laphroaig 27 Year Old has been double matured and bottled at cask strength
