Laphroaig 1989 / 17 Year Old / Feis Isle 2007 Islay Whisky

Tyler Bennet — Exceptional but hard to justify the price

8/10

Tried this at a whisky bar and it's genuinely stunning — deep iodine, sea spray, and dark chocolate on the nose, with a finish that just goes on forever. But at £900 a bottle I keep thinking about how many bottles of Quarter Cask that buys me. If money's no object, absolutely grab one.

Luna Chavez — Worth every penny at Feis Isle

9/10

I was lucky enough to grab a bottle at Feis Isle 2007 and it's one of the best Laphroaigs I've ever had. At 50.3% it carries that classic peat smoke but with this incredible layer of tropical fruit and old leather underneath. Seventeen years in the cask really mellowed the medicinal edge without killing it. Neat only, obviously.
