Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
yes. Superb. Exactly Laphroaig, starting all on seawater, wet wool, soaked grains and antiseptic. The whole isn’t very powerful, though, even a little fragile. Sort of fades away after a few minutes, alas, leaving room for light notes of almonds and wet newspaper, as well as seashells, fish and chips (really!) and hints of diesel oil. Beautiful and complex nose actually, despite its fragility, but this at cask strength would be a dream
restaurant Palate
very excellent attack, reminding me a bit of the 1976 Vintage now, but maybe with more complexity. Excellent balance between fresh almonds and walnuts on the one side, and peaty/smoky flavours on the other side. Picks up steam, which is quite the opposite of what happened on the nose. Slight saltiness. Salted butter toffee, peppermint, a little tar, even hints of dried apples and pineapples. This one really broad!
timer Finish
very long, coating, peaty, tarry, salty and almondy
