Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it’s mostly pronounced woodiness we’re getting here, fir sawdust, green tea, and a peat that, at this stage, prefers to whisper rather than shout. The whole remains bone-dry nonetheless. With water: still bone-dry, now leaning into soaked cask wood, fig leaves, and green tomato vines
restaurant Palate
not unpleasant on the palate, somewhat oily and cask-driven, though a few exotic fruit notes do peek through, the sort that once built Laphroaig’s reputation, beyond the love it or hate it USP. On the other hand, those green tannins and that oddly artificial smoke become increasingly grating and assertive. With water: a sliver of gentleness emerges, circling around lemon marmalade, but let’s not kid ourselves, it’s the bare minimum
timer Finish
long but rather simplistic, with an astringency that overstays its welcome
