Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
proper fresh butter, meadow flowers, lighter embrocations, engine oil, honeysuckle, nectarines, touch of Darjeeling tea. Not wham-bam, gentle, almost too shy. But these tend to keep things under their sleeves…
restaurant Palate
you bet! Massive smoke, fish oils, sour citrus, bread, seafood (rather shells, clams and all that), turmeric-led spices, then, quite bizarrely, some caramel or black nougat, ristretto coffee, plasticine, heavy liquorice, chewing tobacco, shoe polish, then back to seawater and seaweed (nori, sea lettuce)… What's rather remarkable is that there's almost no tropical fruits, whilst that's supposed to be one of old Laphroaig's main markers
timer Finish
rather long, one some salty, coastal kind of sourness. A seafood platter
