Laphroaig Select Malt Whisky

Normally £33, this is a great price for such a smart dram. It’s from the island of Islay, traditionally the home of the bigger, richer styles of whisky. Aged in new American oak barrels, its smoky, peaty edges have been softened with a touch of vanilla from the wood. Try it with a dash of cold water to bring out the flavours.
