Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
starts with a bit of sour wood and lemon juice but then it's the usual Laphroaigness, and a kippery/briny Laphroaigness at that. Anchovies, iodine (huge), damp chalk, soot, more brine, more lemon juice, more kippers... And more lime and gherkins. And big, fat, fresh oysters. Just a tiny bit of sawdust in the background. Fabulous news that this baby does not display big notes of vanilla despite the 'treatment'
restaurant Palate
awww... The problem is that it's very drinkable at this strength, despite the rather huge saltiness. Excellent, all on olive 'juice' (I like that), anchovies again, smoked fish, a little cider, oysters again (just any breed)... Not much medicinal notes and the peatiness is, say 'controlled'. Very good
timer Finish
long and extremely briny and salty
