I just bought what i hoped would be an interesting blend. A Laing bottling called Double Barrel. It is a single cask of Mortlach blended with a single cask of Laphroaig. I had high hopes as i am speyside guy slowly and eagerly entering the world of islay. But all I can say is eeeewwwwww! Positively dreadful. The nose is reminiscent of smoked rotten vegetables. Taste is completely empty and devoid of character.
So very disappointed. I had to drain my sorrows with Hazelburn 12
