Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

it’s old Laphroaig. One cannot help but think of the old 30-year-old, which is fitting since Suntory now owns Laphroaig. Sublime camphor, bandages, embrocations, menthol and eucalyptus inhalations (some whiskies do this even better than eucalyptus oil, seriously) … In short, all those medicinal things we adore in old Laphroaig that aren’t just about the peat. Even noble apple juice and very ripe mango

restaurant Palate

ah yes, it’s a bit more oaky than the nose suggested, alas, but it remains quite magnificent, coastal and medicinal, with peat mingled with green spices, green pepper, cider apple… Perhaps the best mouthwash ever produced by mankind

timer Finish

rather long, heading towards green curry, salted seaweed (wakame), orange chutney, then our friends the slightly plump oysters…
