Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
this is a completely different beast from the 1980–1990s, it’s chock-full of shoe polish, lanolin, oil paint, turpentine, and a medley of embrocations, while crucially it’s not at all a ‘fruit bomb’ like the officials distilled during that same period could be. In fact, this goes right to the heart of what makes indies so compelling, their ability to show variants… That said, there is grapefruit surging in with metal polish, the metallic edge becoming increasingly dominant. Old coins and old tools, something rarely encountered in modern whiskies
restaurant Palate
another world entirely, one of jazz and rock and roll, old London and old Glasgow, vinyl and faux leather, powdered fruit drinks, vintage cars, seaside holidays… It’s astonishing how this Laphroaig reflects its era!
timer Finish
not tired in the least, still with much to say, especially salty and fermentary things, but let’s just keep that between us, if you don’t mind
