Why Full disclosure: I’m a seasonal drinker. When the city’s oppressive humidity slips into something more comfortable and blankets become a necessity again, Scotch season is upon us. Touted as the richest Laphroaig yet, this new release is said to contain some of the popular Islay distillery’s most precious reserve whiskies, matured in ex-bourbon and oloroso sherry barrels and quarter-casks. The result is a robust flavour bomb – Laphroaig’s signature intensity and sea-spritzed peatiness is in beast mode here. I’ll skip the pumpkin pie and stick to this for Thanksgiving dessert.
