Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
indeed, this is much less peaty and smoky than the old 8yo, rounder and smoother, but it’s not less nice, with Laphroaig still very present in the background – and coming to the front after a while. Nice mint and camphor and again these notes of violets. Not the 8yo’s zing but it’s, err… ‘nice’
restaurant Palate
too bad, now we have some cardboardy and badly waxy notes as well as something a little soapy (lavender?) It is to be wondered if there isn’t certain batches from a certain Islay distillery in there… The peat is bolder than on the nose, that is, and there’s also lots of pepper but the whole lacks balance
timer Finish
long, sweet, less cardboardy and soapy now but strangely bitter and rubbery. Also a little coconut. Bitter caramel? Really too bad, I quite liked the nose. 68 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: do you remember the years when it was impossible to escape from this song? This time it's 'the' Dwight Yoakam , ex Mr. Sharon Stone who's doing I want you to want me.mp3 (and no it's not one of the cheapest tricks - but yes the end is strange). Please buy his music...
