Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale white wine
air Nose
very unusual again, even if not at all in the same style as the Moon. Much rounder and smoother than expected, with notes of candy sugar, apple pie and crème brûlée, as if this one came from a rum cask (but no such claim on the label.) It becomes more typically Laphroaig after that, with quite some iodine, wood smoke, fresh almonds, freshly cut apples, baker’s yeast and sea water but the ‘candied’ notes never quite disappear. Not that it’s a problem!
restaurant Palate
starts sweet but less rummy than on the nose, very typical from a rather young Laphroaig. Lemons, peat, pepper, salt and almonds. Very oomphy
timer Finish
long, clean, crisp and hugely smoky. Not quite like if you swallowed an ashtray but close ;-)
