Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
all right! It’s like if this one was at least ten years older, as there are already these magnificent notes of fresh fruits (passion, tangerines) that one may find in much older expressions of Laphroaig. And kumquats, soot, coal, ripe gooseberries, smoked almonds, refined oysters (fines de claire), tincture of iodine… Epitomical, as they say. With water: wow, wow, wow! More of everything, including more elegance and a stunning leatheriness that’s only to be found in much older bottlings. A typo somewhere, for sure – stencilling of the casks, bond book, in the bottling hall, at the SMWS’ headquarters, whatever!
restaurant Palate
extremely ‘full’ yet very wide, most certainly one the most medicinal of all medicinal Laphroaigs I’ve ever tasted. It’s hard to describe it as these medicinal things are usually not things that you may swallow, but I’d say that we have quite some antiseptic, bandages (gulp!), mint and eucalyptus-based balms, camphor… And mercurochrome. Enough to cure many illnesses. With water: massive!
timer Finish
long, full, more Laphroaig than the most Laphroaig of all official Laphroaigs
